I live in a Victorian house. I painted the hall last year, then got a springer spaniel and realised the colour is far too light! I’m going to put in a dado rail and paint the bottom half a darker colour. At the moment the skirtings are white but I think would be better painted to match the darker wall and dado rail. So that leaves the door architraves and banister. I might try and strip the banister but should I really match the door architraves to the skirting or can I leave them white?
If I paint them to match the architraves but want to leave them white on the other side what should I do about the inside of the door frame? All the dark skirtings I can see on Pinterest are matched to the architraves but I’m not sure. The doors are also white atm but I’m planning to strip them at some point.
