See what a simple color change can do.

These shiny red doors were a bit much, I thought. So we changed the color to black, and wow what a difference. So calming and relaxing, instead of bright and in your face red. What do you think?

    I love the hand chair. Where is it from?

    Great choice! I like it much better then red. It looks great :)
    But I personally would prefer a few shades lighter colour then the wall is. Because it would take a bit less attention so the Hand chair (and medals) become more visible focal point.

    I think they both look(ed) great. The red was a bit too shiny though!

    Im not sure where that chair came from. The doors were just a quick fix, the crown molding in the room is also a shiny red and the decor has red tones too, so I thought the dark gray doors were the only choose. Not sure what other color would of worked.?? Its a teenager room.

    As I see it from another angle I think your color choice is the best. Keep it like that. And what your son thinks about it? Did he like the change? :)

    Actually, I was working at the clients house installing some Plaster, and the handyman painted the red shiny doors per request of the homeowner. After a writer from Houzz posted an article on the beauty of black doors, I thought what a perfect color for the doors over the red. The red was almost an eyesore to me. (Thats just my thought). Everyone loved the Black over the red. Much softer!! Their son is off at college, so he hasn't even seen it. Im sure he will like it.
