Inside of my front door is white - which is my trim color. If all the trim in the house wasn't white...well, the door would still probably be white. The outside sides of my doors are dark red, so I don't think I'd need two colors on one door. I recently starting thinking about painting the kitchen doors another color (grey-blue? dark greeny-aqua?). What color are you thinking? What colors do you have in the house already?

If you paint the oak molding on the door, it will no longer match the molding on the closet door, right next to it, as well as the rest of the house. Bad move. I don't understand the advantage of having a visually bigger door without the matching trim. Maybe you can achieve a similar result by painting the door a color from the trim. A tan with a ruddy color to it, kind of a base color of the trim. Then the other colors of the trim will act as the 'visually bigger' part that you want.

The light from the chandelier only looks gold in photos. I corrected it a bit after I uploaded it but if I took all the gold tones away until the light looked white, that made the walls look green. I had to keep some of the gold cast to retain a more accurate wall and door color. The door IS a warm white, do you think going even warmer would help? WouldnÂt that make it too close too the wall color? Or would that be a good thing?

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.
