Whether you are repainting an interior door or adding paint to it for the first time, giving your door a splash of paint is a great way to add color to your home and make your door look fresh. However, if done wrong it can also be a source of headaches.

Before you start painting your interior doors, it’s a good idea to have a game plan and know how you want to do it. Here are a few things to consider before you put your paintbrush to your door:

• If you are painting a door with a dark color, you’ll need to be extra careful. Darker colors show lines more readily than lighter coats, so you want to take your time to apply even coverage.
• Decide if you want to use a full gloss paint or semi-gloss. Glossy paint can add brightness to a room when done right. However, it can be overwhelming and is typically harder to clean than a semi-gloss paint.
• Start at the top and work your way down when you are painting a wooden door. The reason to do this is obvious: paint will drip down and you don’t want to drip paint on areas that have already had a coat applied. You also need to make sure that you apply paint in the same direction as the grain of the wood in order to get a smooth finish.
• Make sure that you use high-end materials when painting your doors. Skimping on paints, brushes and other items will only mean that you get a result that isn’t as nice looking as it could be.
