Front door color
I would like to paint my interior double front doors and side panels; they all have half clear beveled glass on top. My walls are dark beige and I have white moldings and shutters. Also, in that room are some black accent pieces, so would black or white be best.

karen paul interiors It always sounds like a slam-dunk with regard to best solution. Funny how there are always little surprises discovered in a photo or two. Since you have taken the time to inquire, please send a photo so we can know exactly what that beige is, how those sidelights play out in real time. It does make a difference in opinions on Houzz. :)
