Hi Debbie, what color are your doors? Paint and stain combos can really look fantastic together. The stain besides the paint can really make each other pop without having too much of either.
It really is personal preference, so I don't see why not.
Depends on the colors. Can you share a pic so we can have an idea of what it will look like?
Hello Debbie,
As long as they are Antique Bronze or Brass!
What shades are you working with?
It will look especially good if the wall color is the same as the baseboard.
Yes, it will look good, but painted baseboards are easier to keep clean.
Yes, it can provide a nice contrast.
Yes.
I like the more cohesive look, pick one stained or painted
Yes, it should be ok, expect it to not be a focal point of the room.
Hello it might be a matter of personal preference.
When I married my husband, that is the way the master bedroom was done. It was "OK" but I never cared much for it so I've been in the process of priming and painting the baseboards. I've gotten 1/2 primed (so many more important projects) and although he liked it before, he likes it much better now that they are getting painted.
That said, if you like it then go with it. You can always paint them later.
Hi Debbie, sure! That will be fine! Painting all window and door trim, crown molding and baseboards the same color provides consistency, but is not a rule. Similarly, door casings and doors don't have to match. Having a light casing and baseboard contrast a dark door achieves a very modern look.
if this is your preference then sure it will be fine but remember stained baseboards and doors make the room appear darker and show more dust on the baseboards
Depending on the colors.and other tones you have going on it the space. perhaps post a couple pics...
If it’s a look you love, you should absolutely do it. There are no rules and your home should make you happy.
yes
