What sheen and specific white color should i use to paint my interior doors, door frames, and baseboards?
Painting doors can be very tricky. I just moved int an older house and have started painting all the doors. After looking at way too many chips I picked Antique white. My second pick was linen white. I ended up painting the doors one color upstairs and the other color downstairs. Pure white is too harsh or bold. I looked at that color and was told to go with an older looking white. Both of these colors work well with natural floors and contemporary and Early American interiors. I thought my eyes would never recover from looking at so many paint chips. I actually carried around the paint chip book tablet for a week comparing whites and that is how I made my choice. Go to your local paint supply and take a look at Antique white and linen white. Another new color that really liked and it was my third choice was a color called cream cheese. I used semi gloss on my trim and doors and satin gloss on my baseboards. Turned out really clean and refreshing. Good luck in the paint department.
