Over my years of home improvement projects, one of the best ways to update a house I've found, is to paint the interior doors a color other than white. I've long been a fan of this practice and it continues into our new house. I've shared part of our painted doors downstairs, as well as changing out the hardware to new and improved, but I've continued upstairs and have finished all of those as well, so wanted to share that with y'all! What a difference it makes! Along with painting doors a color, another big difference is changing out the hardware from the original silver to an oil rubbed bronze. Sometimes builders put in the cheapest hardware available, and although it's useful and works, it's not always the prettiest. We don't love silver toned hardware in general (although I do use it in bathrooms sometimes), but on doors a higher impact metal makes all the difference. I did this same project in my old house and painted them a deep brown/black and updated the mismatched hardware to antique brass Although this time, I used a different color on the doors and the hardware, the final outcome is still highly impactful to our home in the way it all looks and feels.
