Painting door frames

[Sunnygal]

Do you paint doors, door frames & skirting the same colour as the walls?
My walls are painted in Dulux Whisper White. Should I paint the doors etc in the same colour or a darker or lighter colour? If it's another colour do you have any suggestions on what colour?

No you don't usually have everything painted with the same colour. If your walls are white then it would have to be a darker colour. The actual shade would depend on your decor in your house but probably use creams and off whites. Hope this helps.

If your walls are already white I'd actually paint them the same colour, but in a semi-gloss. Our trims are darker than our walls and it looks really dated (that might just be the dusky pink colour though :rolleyes:).

Definitely get a sample of a white and a creme and see which you like better, because they are a real pain in the butt to re-do!

I agree with Mikaela- same colour but in a semi-gloss. Experiment between semi-gloss and gloss though. We've found that some companies [I think Taubmans?] semi-gloss is too matt but the gloss is perfect.

If your walls are white then it would have to be a darker color. But more or less that depends on your decor of the house and interiors.

This is a creamy white colour so you could paint the doors etc a white colour or a gloss in the same colour.
