Help deciding inside door paint!

5 years ago

We are planning on painting the outside doors a charcoal grey and can’t decide if we should
keep inside white or do the same as outside ?? TY!

    Charcoal gray could darken your entry unnecessarily. Not a pro, but I'd keep the inside white like all the other doors and door frames.

    Your home looks beautiful! I would lean toward keeping inside same as interiior trim color, and consider a different rug that will compliment the exterior door color more as one enters. Also, consider exterior lanterns they look rather small for such a grand entryway, and maybe look at coordinating door knob finish with lanterns.

    I think we need to see what the inside of your home looks like an entry IMO should be connected to the rest of the interior living spaces. I like the idea of the dark exterior but IMO you need much large taller planters and larger lighting.

    Yes. Inside white.

    The lights are coming down and will be bigger for sure ! Thank you! I think we’re leaning towards white inside!

    If you like the smaller potted plants, consider setting at least one of them on each side atop some kind of pedestal and/or adding a third planter to each side. If you do any thrift store shopping, be on the lookout for used bar stools in different heights or that you can cut off leg length to shorten as you like. Painted with exterior paint, a pair of them on each side of the door could work well as potted plant pedestals, leaving only one potted plant on the porch floor.

    I’m a contrarian! I’d do the charcoal— it’ll be stunning! You have a lot of light tones already.

    can I just suggest a few outside colors? scrach the gray and do a blue that leans toward periwinkle.




    Either of these colors (And larger light fixtures) really amp up the front. (which I love. you have a beautiful home). the soft blue tones play well w/the stone colors.

    compared to a gray which just looks blah


    more of a blue/gray that leans toward purple


    gave you black w/black lights, but I like the blue tones better


    look at some of these, or some icy platinum shades


    Any of these could work too




    I could even see some of these beautiful dusty mauve/blush/orchid/darker gray/lavenders too. stunning w/your stone work-gray color and the brick.


    this shade of dusty lavender




    Gorgeous color. pair it w/silver or soft gold light fixtures/hardware





    either of these could work on the inside too


    and a soft blush looks gorgeous w/gray and white.


    or, if you like the cooler gray colors to go w/the rug:

    @Beth H - those blues are to die for! Love the way you can mock something up for us visual folks to actually see!

    Nice job Beth. i'd absolutely paint the inside of the doors white! You'll be glad you did. I love the blush color and some of those doors are interesting for our house. You've got a lot of grey and blush is beautiful with it. For the outside I'd go with periwinkle. Be careful not to get too drab with a grey house. It's a sophisticated house but it needs some color imo to make people take a second look. Not a 'what was that' look but 'I love that house' look. Happy houses look happy for a reason. It's about the people who live there but it's also about color!

    The exterior door painted black looks awesome. Sophisticated and in keeping with the size and prestige of the home. Get bigger black lanterns to match.

    The interior? Ex-nay on the gray. I’m so tired of gray gray gray everything.

    You have a handsome home and I love your floors.
