Need help with interior door colors

13 years ago

I am going back and forth trying to decide if I should put Black or White interior doors in my home. We are currently under construction and I need to make a decision. Anyone have an opinion or advice?

Agree with Dytecture, depends on your overall style. We recently went from white to deep espresso brown/black and love the drama it adds to our home. We changed out the hardware as well, from builder-grade shiny brass knobs to hefty Emtek levers in oil rubbed bronze. Spectacular! Everyone who enters our home comments on the beautiful doors! The color is SW Caviar, deep, deep dark brown, in a satin finish.

Here're the before and after shots:

White interior doors are more conventional choices. It depends on your style and preferences. There isn't a right or wrong answer to this.

Black doors are a really sharp look offset by white molding really gives the door a pop. Many of our customers over the course of this past year are asking for black interior doors!
