Ooh, I like them!

What a difference it makes in the entry. I love them!

Yes! I'm happy to see anything but white on the interior door side.. :)

I did that to an antique exterior door being used as an interior door in the hallway, but actually it was already a dark green, I just re-painted it the same.

I really like the above examples.

I saw that article too. It's intriguing.

Our door is original to the house--1926. It was finished wood, but painted over white at some point. The paint is not in good shape. I suspect it wasn't primed properly. I am debating whether to try to strip it back to wood or repaint it at some point.

Those lovely colors make painting it tempting. I noticed though that most of the pictured entryways are a lot bigger than mine and often they have repeated the door color in a rug.

In the above examples the painted doors tie in very closely to the overall design and color placement in the rooms. I don't think the effect will be the same in a generic house where the door color doesn't tie into anything else in the space.

Right, and the walls are all very light.

My hallway is a sunny yellow, so other than a black door...

Now, if I repainted my hallway a very light neutral color, I could certainly pick up some of that light blue from my runner.

Omigosh - that first example with the aqua door in the light, bright entry is just stunning. I think my heart would flutter (in a good way) every time I stepped into that space.

our foyer is very neutral-- i sanded the trim and inside side of the front door months ago, but haven't painted yet since i had been toying with the idea of painting that side of the door navy... so good to see this thread- i just might!!

Ooh, thanks so much for posting this @nosoccermom - it's just the inspiration I need! I painted the inside of my front door last year; outside, it's painted black but inside it was an awful yellow-y oak. I don't really love it painted white, although it's definitely brighter than it was before. The door opens into a breakfast room and there are no hallways at all in my weirdly shaped first floor. Any suggestions for colors to repaint?

I would pick up a color from thr window treatment or rug. I can't really see either clearly, I'm sorry. Is there a dark orange in both?

Oh, I love the pale aqua doors with the white walls! Gorgeous! The black looked a bit too harsh to me, although I understand why they did that.. The lime green in the Modern setting gives off a nice vibe. In a small, crowded setting, I'd use the same color as on the walls to decrease that visual break up and busyness. Smalloldhouse: I think it's present color is perfect. Our front door, inside and out, is just the weathered wood color. I wanted to paint it turquoise and DH almost had a cow. Too bad, as it would look great.

@smalloldhouse:

I'm not sure, maybe pick a color from your window treatment?Orange or green?

Here are some more:

Our interior doors (and trim) are all white. We re-painted the inside of the front door and the french doors a deep mushroomy color. The "bones" of our home is neutral, but turquoise/aqua is one of the main accent colors in our home. Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe we should also do this to the door coming into the kitchen.

I have seen the black interior doors on many blogs. Seems to be a trend now to also paint the inner trim of windows black too. Wouldn't work for our house, but I have seen homes I like it in.

In that third batch of photos, the mud room or foyer with the beadboard walls and ceiling reminds me of my kitchen. Except my ceiling and walls are cream. The door (that is the back door) in the kitchen is also cream but old and might very well look good with a color other than cream on the inside. Great inspiration!

Love the colors. too!

My front door on the outside is navy blue. I'm inspired by these examples to paint the inside the same color as the ceiling of my vestibule. SW Tidewater

I've seen that first photo before. Maybe it was featured in Houzz updates. Lovely foyer. I like seeing the colorful front doors.

Both sides of my front door are stained bluish-gray. It was that way when I bought the place and I have no plans to change it.

dyhgarden, that sounds lovely.

What color are your walls?

nosoccermom- the walls are white.

Stop! Stop! OMG, they are all so wonderful that I'm now lusting after many of them. Those red doors look fantastic. Oh, and the purple one, too. Whoever did that pulled it off in spades! DH will be home from golf in a few minutes and I'm inspired by all this, and may try to talk him, once again, into letting me paint the front door a turquoise. Thanks for sharing these, Nosoccermom. What fun!
