So very thriiled to see this! Just sent a text to my painters who will now be painting our internal doors black. Just in the nick of time as painting starts tomorrow.

Bold look those black doors, but no one mentioned how high maintenance black is...as much as white, I assure you! Every speck of dust shows up on black in a home...and you can't get rid of ALL the dust...ever!

Thank you for the many beautiful INTERIOR examples. They're gorgeous.

I have always had a black door and I'm sharing a secret with you....My painter always put a coat of marine poly to top it off. This is used on boats. It protects it much more than plain poly. Fabulous shine.....FYI

I love a black door. I always know it will be interesting when I walk through it.

Black is such a wonderful "neutral". It brings everything together and yet sets things apart with great design character. Black is my very favorite 'color'.

Lauren Gries says:

I painted my bathroom door black. . . Love it! So happy I took the jump!

Mary Hamp says:

Love the black doors..can't wait to convince my clients they need them!

jacquelyndavis says:

Mary, your clients need them as much as I do! If I could only convince my husband. I've heard forgiveness is easier than permission, so I just need to get it done before he gets home from work!

zappedan says:

Did black doors in my home several years ago, a great decision.

dancingfish says:

How to convince the hubby of this??

Creative Decor by Mandi says:

:) I didn't ask my husband ...just bit the bullet and did it! He would have questioned it for sure but I knew the results would be fabulous so I tackled it on my own. The interior of our entry door was white and showed so many scuff marks from shoes and paw prints...I was constantly washing and retouching it. Now that they are black, no marks and they look great all the time...dust is no issue. The black paint really made the neutral entry pop and added a touch of elegance. I just love it and my husband hasn't told me I was wrong.

Dawna Jones Design says:

Every home I've built and will continue to build has always had black doors it's a must for me!

lauriebwilliams says:

Sorry. Can't rotate these. I think the black doors make the ceilings seem taller. I painted 2 in a guest room to start out and see if I like them and I do. This is a before and after.

bellasmile2 says:

I painted all our cottage interior doors black. The walls are all light in color. My husband was very hesitant. Now, he loves them and so do I. Best decision!! PS, no dust on the doors, no fingerprints, easy.

kirkdonna4ever says:

I am building a house and painting all my interior doors black with white casing. Nothing looks as crisp and high style.

dorothyb says:

I love black doors - we painted our interior doors as well as our front door black about 4 years ago - don't think I could ever go back!

heidihessgriffeth says:

I repainted all our interior doors gloss black last year and just love how they look. Contrary to many people’s comments about dust, they don’t seem to show that much, and the punch they add to the decor is worth it!

julie33 says:

I love the glossy black doors, but I'm thinking about painting my 1963 hollow doors all in black chalkboard paint. Any thoughts? It will be --of course-- very dull, which is why I hesitate. There are 5 total in my hallway.

modernistmaude says:

Our 2 pack gloss front entrance door really makes our glass pop, looks gr8 with blonde wood floors and white walls. You do have to watch warping from sun/heat for external doors (here in Oz anyway). Australian Door manufacturers void your warranty if the door is painted in dark colours.
