Dark skirting and architrave with wooden internal doors?
We're picking paint colours for our hallway and landing. I would like the skirting and architrave to be a darker colour than the walls. My husband thinks this won't look right with unpainted wooden doors (like the one below) and says it has to be white. I can't find any examples of dark painted skirting & architraves with natural wooden doors to show him. Will this combination work (I'm thinking Little Greene White Lead - deep on the walls, and Olive Oil on the skirting/architraves)?

Comments (7)Thanks Carol!! I agree...love the wood effect and that why we are going for the wooden doors, windows and floors...I guess I'm just panicking now just before we make the final decision that it might be a bit overpowering! Really appreciate your comment! Thanks!...See MoreOak internal doors and trim
Comments (2)Hi if you want dark colours through out your home you can use the dark colour on wood work example flooring if you go for dark oak do the doors and frame and skirting to a lighter tone of the floor or if would like to break the continuous of the colour of the door frame you can stain the skirting boards white or a neutral colour but white does bring the skirting board stand out...See MoreHallway help - new interior doors
Comments (3)Have no idea why you are restricted to white doors but we live in a house where all the doors come off the hall and we put in doors with checked glass everywhere to get natural light into the hall and also break up the row of nothing but doors i have pale grey walls but I painted all those doors dark gray and hung very colorful art work down that hall it looks sort of like a gallery and not sterile at all. And yes the doors are on all the doorways including the bathroom you can see nothing through them....See MoreHall and stairs
Comments (0)Hi, I have pine wood stairs, skirting, doors and architrave and I'm looking for some nice ideas to brighten it all up without painting the architrave , skirting and doors. That would be too much of a big job. I thought maybe cream for the walls but I'd like some bolder ideas and maybe the same cream on the instep of the stairs. Don't really know how to proceed. I'd like to show off the pine to its best. Also, it's a 3 bed bungalow so not a big mansion place, should fit the style of the house. I like a bit of black too and colour. What about pictures? Are they a bad idea? Thank you...See Moreminnie101
2 years agoI did a crude mock up for you with your colours and door. I’m not too keen on the colours with the door personally

2 years agoI tried it with olives (hard to find good olive colours for some reason?!) and then farrow and ball skimming stone with elephants breath (but the EB is Coming out darker/more purple).
it depends what is on the floor too though?
