Black Interior Doors

Question

I painted all my interior doors black! What do we think?

Victoria · Answer

I like the idea and think it could be quite elegant depending on the rest of the room. It's hard to tell without a bigger picture. I think someone said anything is improved with the addition of a little black.

Maggie C · Answer

All our interior doors are painted dark brown. I think I would like black better. My bedroom is a very dark blue, and black would look better there than brown, at least. My family though I was nuts when I asked for a dark blue br. But now they see it really is restful.

LOVE the brushed nickel doorknob.  As for the door, I see paintstrokes.  Perhaps next time, use a sponge roller.

Judy O · Answer

wow, someone really had to comment on seeing paint strokes? Is that necessary ? I just joined this board and I will not stay if the comments made about anyone's personal projects that they work really hard on are negative. then I may think twice about being a member here.

@Ken Sturmer She has included a link to her blog where she gives more details and shows more photos. It's very common for bloggers to post a photo or two at sites like this to pique your interest in hopes you will jump over to their blog to see more. It's a way to increase blog traffic, and hopefully even pick up some new blog followers.

Great idea! The door is beautiful! Tell the family to 'think outside the closed door!' (box!). :)

I think if YOU (and anyone that lives with you) like it then it is fine. For my house black doors would make the rooms feel closed in. From your pictures it looks like it is on the inside of one room and thus there aren't black doors looking back at you say in the hallway. A picture that shows more of the room would have been helpful to me. I think it is great to try new things. You can always paint over it. We painted a bedroom a royal blue shade and lived with it a two years and repainted it because I felt like I was in a BIG BLUE BOX. LOL!

Mikell Paulson · Answer

I like the fact that you were brave enough to do the black doors. I am to afraid to try something like this. My hat is of to you! The black doors are a beautiful change! I like them!

Tena's · Answer

I like it! I'm going to do the same in my house.

Jessica C · Answer

I think the black doors add drama. And if you have kids, way easier to keep clean than white ones!

Pat · Answer

Thumbs up! I love Black and White.

Kat · Answer

At first I thought it sounded silly, but after seeing the images def loved the idea! I feel like every house I've been to in MA has the usual white doors and white trims...happy to see something different!

Susan Folds · Answer

I like it

J K Weigle · Answer

Elegance and drama, I agree. However, I think the best part is no dirty fingerprints!

Vicki Menton · Answer

Love  them.   We  are painting  ours a  very  dark  brownish  black (Black  Bean).   At  first,  my  husband  wasn't keen  on  the  idea  but  after  the 1st  for was painted  he  loved  it.   New  knobs  are  on  the  list  next.   The  previous  home owner had a huge  love affair  with brass  apparently.   After buying pulls  for  over 30  drawers  and  knobs  for  over 70  cabinet doors  new  doorknobs  are  having  to  wait.
