"You can choose to paint just your door, or the door and its frame. Alternatively, carry the color along your baseboard to create more cohesion just like " sandwich method "! There are endless possibilities when you choose to update your doors, each of which will give a space a unique personality. Another bonus? Since it's a smaller project, you can likely use any leftover paint."
"Use mini foam rollers on flat surfaces and angled brushes for detailed areas. Paint the inner edge closest to the door frame the same color as the door, and the outer edge the same color as the wall of the room the door opens into. Prime your door before you paint because doors are much more prone to scuffs and scratches."
Painting interior doors provides an inexpensive, quick way to refresh a room and experiment with color without a full renovation. Projects can target a single door, the door and frame, or extend color along the baseboard using the "sandwich method" to create cohesion and personality. Small-scale scope often allows use of leftover paint. Recommended tools include mini foam rollers for flat surfaces and angled brushes for detailed areas. Paint the inner edge to match the door and the outer edge to match the adjacent room wall. Prime doors before painting because they are more prone to scuffs and scratches. Choosing a color remains the primary decision.
