What colour to paint or varnish door saddles?

6 years ago

We just bought a bungalow and are doing some redecorating before we move in. It is an old house with a narrow hallway and small rooms so we want to keep it as light and airy feeling as possible. We are putting in new doors, architrave, skirting, etc. and painting these white. However all of the windows (which we aren't changing as they are quite new) are a dark wood - almost a walnut colour. My question is what colour should I varnish the door saddles? I would prefer to varnish rather than paint these, but don't want to go too dark. How many wood colours is ok in a house, e.g. should we varnish the saddles to an oak colour and stick with this for the furniture? Any advice appreciated!

We bought a house built in the 90s. It has varnised pine doors, skirting, stairs etc. Theres nothing wrong with the wood itself,but im not a fan of the yellow colouring. Could i stain it an oak colour? Has anyone tried this? I prefer wood colouring over paint colours. I guess this would be a cheaper option than replacing them all?

Would suggest white! A warm white like wimbourne white. All of the most beautiful rooms in my house are painted white! Then add in some wall art and some plants.
