Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jul 18, 2011 2:03 pm Hello, I am in the midst of a bathroom renovation and the new white tiles have made me realise that my doorframes & doors need some updating (they look like nicotine yellow-white in contrast to the gloss white tiles). As my apartment is concrete render, the door frames are metal and both frames/doors are done in a gloss paint. WOuld it be best to use a gloss or semi gloss paint again? Main colours throughout Internals Ceiling /Cornice - standard ceiling white Main Walls in hallway & living areas - Dulux Berkshire White Main/2nd Bedroom walls - Dulux hogs bristle 3 coats of half strength Dining Room Feature Wall - it is inherited from previous owners Ranch mink Skirting - none, goes straight from carpet to wall. Window/Sliding Door Frames - are all bronze dark metal, no wooden frames Doors - NEW COLOUR IN WHITE NEEDED, doorhandles are a brushed silver Window Treatments - both bedrooms have freedom blinds in bright white while living room has roller blinds in a cream/off white Flooring throught the unit - sandy beige carpet - quite light in colour Bathroom floor tiles - light grey/brown tiles (the vanity unit is made in laminate strngy bark with benchtop in caesarstone latte I would appreciate any advice on what shade of white to paint the doors and metal doorframes (they just look so tragic when next to the glossy white tiles of the bathroom) so the colour would be sitting beside high gloss white tiles, hogs bristle 1/2 strenght and berkshire white I hope that I given enough info to get some advice as I just don't know where to start - simply too many whites to pick from! thanks A Re: door & Frame Trim Colour Selection 2Jul 20, 2011 1:36 am Welcome to the forum You can get sample pots of the semi-gloss and the gloss in white.
