Creative paint to complement your custom wood doors

If you’re installing custom wood doors throughout your home for the first time, they may very well bring a completely different look and feel to the doors you’re putting out.

This can mean that other home design elements that worked well before can now look a bit out of place, with easy replacements not always a viable option.

However, help is at hand and it comes in a can.

You may or may not want to paint your new custom wood doors, but that doesn’t mean you can’t paint other things to complement them.

From trim and wall tiles to furniture, fixtures and fittings, and items in the bathroom or kitchen that you may never have thought could benefit from a few brushstrokes, a creative coat of paint can be applied to most surfaces in the home.

To compliment your newly installed custom wood doors, here are some suggestions from us.
