painted internal doors or not?

[helgaw99]

Hi
Need advice for my Victorian terrace.

About to replace all the internal doors. Currently have awful blue hollow doors which I hate.

Will be replacing with 4 panel solid pine doors.

My question is whether we should paint the doors white to match other wood work or if they should be left natural/ varnished?

Also, knobs or handles?!

Thanks

I prefer painted doors because they are more in keeping with what the house would have had originally and match the woodwork. Knobs for a Victorian house.

Definitely agree knobs are better.

I love the way wooden doors look with white frames. I've just done if myself (well room not yet finished) and it's great.

Possibly it does look a bit modern but I feel it's a modern twist on the traditional.

I've got oak doors in my house, left untreated. My skirtings and architrave are white.
I think it looks nice. But my house is only 20 years old.

I've seen a few very dark grey ( almost black ) eggshell doors in Victorian homes ( just ground floors ) and that look stunning with white China knobs and white touch plates ( not good for arthritic hands if you have older visitors though ) if you fancy something a bit different !!
