You know, with it being a small home and loving this colour ANYWAY, I would be inclined to wrap it around on the inside of the door too :). HOWEVER, I would worry that doing it on the lower cabinets as well could be ‘too much of a good thing’. How about something a tone or 2 lighter???

So I am building a tiny house on a lake. I am trying to create a space that is very fun, bright, and beachy feeling. I want it to look very different than a house I would live in permanently. This is just a fun little get away home so I want to create a happy space. The outside is going to be navy with a teal door, tantalizing teal from sherwin Williams. The question is, should I paint the inside of the door the same color or should I paint it white? I plan to have pinks, yellows, teals, and other fun colors accenting throughout the tiny house. Very much like a tropical oasis. I am also considering painting the few lower cabinets in the kitchen a fun color too and have pondered the same teal. The upper cabinets will be white. Thoughts?

I want to paint the inside of my front door Sherwin Williams Storm Cloud. The walls are Northstar. Do I leave the wood outline around the door white or paint it to match the door?

I love your posts! I am going to paint the interior of my front door a medium dark color, with the frame matching with white dove trim we have. The question is the single sidelight, match the trim or the door? Also, if we match the door what about the support piece between the door and the sidelight? White or door color?

Thank you!

Hi Jojo, well, I can speak RIGHT to this as I have BM White Dove on my walls with Wrought Iron as my feature wall in MY bedroom! So, if it were ME, I wouldn’t. Sometimes you can actually dilute the impact of something with overuse. I actually have a lot of my doors painted BM Revere Pewter (50% darker) and I would take an approach more like that rather than more of the dark colour :).

I’ve been thinking about painting our doors dark. We have all neutral tones greys throughout the house, so I was thinking a near black colour. Our master bedroom is painted Oxford White with one Wrought Iron wall behind the bed. Since we already used Wrought Iron and loved it, that’s what I was thinking for the doors, too. But would it be too much in one room to have a black wall, a black door and black double closet doors? The room is average sized, room for a bed and dresser. Mainly I’m asking: in this instance, would it be better to use the same colour as the accent colour, or go lighter?

Oh MAN, that is a good question! It was quite a few years ago and I know that I couldn’t find the chartreuse that I wanted in SW or BM, so it was a Behr colour. I ‘think’ it was Lemon Grass, or darned close to it ;).

Hi Cheryl, you can do it the same as long as it suits the exterior and the interior! Mine is black all the way around, but I’ve had homes where I’ve adjusted the interior to suit it a bit better :).

Thank you for this post. May I ask – what’s the color on the green door in the photo above (next to the dark/black wall)?

Hi Shauna! I would probably just do the doors for now, see how that feels – I think doors/trim could be an awful lot! I just did my own interior doors BM Revere Pewter, darkened by 50% with a few KEY doors in a dark colour – I love the balance that gives me and I will blog post about it soon!

Im loving the nordic/Scandinavia vibe for my home but wonder if painting ALL my doors black and trim white us too much? I live in BC as well, Cariboo area????. Thanks and any tips you offer in helping me woukd really be appreciated.

Hi Heather! When it comes to personal questions, I do refer to my Edesign so I can look at your room as you’d HAVE to pull your colour from things like your fabrics, any tile, accent colours, etc…it’s a pretty important choice and I would have to see photos to see what would work!

We will in a ranch home and when you walk in front door you see the kitchen and the kitchen door as well, which we painted the kitchen same color as living room. Do you have any color recommendations for the front door ? And should I paint the kitchen door to the backyard the same color

Hi Erica, yup, it should coordinate and match or complement it somehow!

Hi Melissa! While there are exceptions, I generally paint both the door and the sidelight 🙂

We have a sidelight on either side of our front door – would you paint those on the interior as well, or only the interior of the front door to make it stand out? The exterior of the front door and sidelights will likely both be painted the same colour (loving the BM Hale Navy).

Hi Denise, I would likely JUST do the front door, to make it stand out a bit!

In our foyer there is a coat closet on each side of the front door. Would I paint those doors as well?

stained front door that I don’t love. It’s super dark and shiny, not my favorite. This gives me some ideas.
Thanks

Hi Amy! I would definitely do a satin finish. This way it’s wipeable/washable but not too shiny. You’ll find traditional wall paint (eggshell/flat/matte) a bit high maintenance!

Like flat, or should it be trim paint? I have leftover paint that was used on my house exterior and painted on the exterior of the front door that I was thinking of using and wondered if it would be ok. Thanks for your input!
