Black interior doors are an unexpected and bold solution for many homes, and though they aren’t very common, they may be a nice and cool choice for your space. Let me share some advantages and some examples of such a solution.
What Are Black Interior Door Advantages?
Black doors are easy to implement and they will instantly bring drama to your space, even if it’s super plain. Black doors add balance to other black décor in the room echoing with them and creating a cohesive look. Dark doors make ceilings look higher and they match literally wall and floor décor and colors matching almost every style. Painting doors in refined dark shades or just black makes them look more expensive besides it’s also very practical: dark shades conceal dirt very well. Painting doors is a beginner project – this DIY requires very little tools. In fact, you don’t need any tools. Just a paint brush, and paint. It’s an affordable DIY. Plus, if you’re new to DIY, paint is a great skill to master and build your confidence before tackling bigger projects. Even if these reasons aren’t enough to make you paint your doors black, you can look for some inspiration below and I’m sure these pics will convince you!

How To Pick A Black Paint Color?
Look for the undertones. You can easily find out but looking where the color chip galls on the paint sample wall. If the black is near the blues, it will have a bluer undertone vs if it’s near the browns, it will have a brown undertone. Match the black tone to the undertones in the space. Get samples – paint a piece of paper the sample colors and observe it during diff daytime, lighting, etc.

Should You Paint Your Doors Gloss, Satin, Or Matte?
With matte black paint, every scuff and scratch mark shows up. Also, matte paint is not very easy to wipe clean. If you have kids or pets, a matte finish is not for you. In such cases use a satin or semi gloss finish. This gives a nice sheen, it’s durable, and easy to clean. Plus, the black paint does not reflect off of it too much. I would not advise a gloss finish. It won’t look good in a dark color as the light will reflect off it too much.
