COLOUR FINISHES
A door’s finish is one of the most important choices you have to make when it comes to decorating your home. The right finish can add a touch of personality and style, while the wrong one can detract from the overall look and feel. So, how do you choose the best colour door finish for your home? Let’s explore some options!
Paint or Stain?
The first decision you will need to make is whether you want to paint or stain your door. Paint offers more variety in terms of colours, but it tends to chip more quickly than a stained wood. If you are looking for a classic look that will stand up against wear-and-tear, then staining is a better option. However, if you want something that stands out more, then painting may be the way to go. It all depends on what look and feel you are going for! Be sure to follow treatment guidelines carefully, provided with all our internal and external doors. Our untreated oak doors, such as the Oak Mexicano , or Oak Pattern 10 Shaker Style Door are perfect for adding either a clear matt or satin treatment suitable for use on oak veneer.
Neutral Colours
Neutral colours such as white, beige and grey are great if you want to keep things subtle but still give your home an airy and open feel. Check out our white primed door range here. Neutral doors also work well if you plan on changing up the colour scheme later down the road, since they will match with almost any colour palette! They also tend to make rooms appear larger than they actually are which is always a plus.
Bold Colours
On the other hand, if you’re looking for something that really stands out then bolder colours may be the way to go. Reds, blues and greens can give your home a much-needed pop of colour without being too overwhelming. Just make sure that whatever colour you choose matches with the rest of your interior design so that it doesn’t clash with anything else in your house.
