One thing that we have done in our OWC homes is paint the interior doors a solid color.  It’s something you don’t think about doing and it looks stunning! Typically a dark color is selected…  A color that we have used time and time again is Sherwin Williams “Black Fox SW7020″.  This color looks great with oil rubbed bronze, chrome or brushed nickel door handles and really makes the door style pop.  Adding to our homes one more great architectural detail!

Here is a door painted in the "black fox" paired with oil rubbed bronze hardware

I came across and article in House Beautiful (Feb 2010) about dressing up interior doors.  Most of the doors featured in the article are upholstered with an interesting fabric or painted with a faux finish.  One of the details that was applied to a solid painted door was a pattern created with nailheads~i just think that sounds great!  If you get your hands on the magazine, be sure to check out this article.  www.housebeautiful.com

This is the study from our parade house and these glass doors and all of the trim are painted with Sherwin Williams "Sealskin SW7675". This color is just a little darker than the "black fox" but I wanted to show a different style door that was painted dark. And again its paired with the oil rubbed bronze door hardware.
