What colour to paint dodgy internal doors

6 replies

So we moved in last year and all the doors in the house were badly fitted or missing. Over the past year we have had oak doors fitted but we still have two of the old white internal doors on the pantry and laundry cupboards. We hope to one day if we can ever afford it redo the area to create a proper utility room. Until then we have these doors. They're old, and are currently white but need painting again. Would it be best to paint them white or would a dark colour like navy hide the fact they are cheap old doors better?

Photo?

No need for a photo they are the cheapest white panelled doors that have clearly been in for a couple of decades. So have been painted multiple times. I just don't know if they'll look best freshly painted white or whether a dark colour would hide the imperfections better.

Have them dipped or do it yourself with stripper or a torch. If all doors are white, then paint them white until new doors come. Painting doors dark? as in brown paint? no.

If you go dark, do the frame and skirting too.

I don't think anything will disguise them TBH. Painting them a similar colour to the walls might make them less obvious maybe.

I like the idea of same colour as the walls.
