Because doors deserve love too.
If you’re looking for a quick, impactful way to refresh your home, don’t overlook your doors. Painting a door can instantly elevate your space—whether you go bold with color or stick to a timeless neutral. Ready to give your doors the love they deserve?
Here’s how to do it right.
Why Paint Your Door?
Your doors get used every single day, but they’re often the last thing we think to update. A fresh coat of paint can turn them into a design moment—subtle and elegant or bold and eye-catching. Plus, it’s an easy DIY that makes a big impact without the commitment of painting an entire room.
1. Prep is everything
✅ Remove hardware like handles and locks if possible. If not, carefully tape around them to avoid messy edges.
✅ Clean the door to remove dust and grime.
✅ Lightly sand the surface to help the paint adhere—especially if the door is glossy or previously painted.
2. Prime (if needed)
If your door is stained, dark, or previously unpainted wood, a primer helps the color pop and ensures better durability.
3. Choosing the Right Color 🎨
Here’s where you have fun:
- Go bold with one of our rich, saturated tones to create a statement piece. Think deep blues, or blacks (Hello, Kate!).
- Stay classic with a soft neutral for a minimalist, elevated look that blends seamlessly into your space (Hello, Peace of Mind!).
4. Time to paint!
- Use a high-quality angled brush to cut in around the edges, panels, and corners.
- Switch to a mini foam roller for the flat sections for that smooth, professional finish.
Pro tip: Paint in the direction of the wood grain or follow the door’s design to avoid streaks.
With Blu’s eggshell finish, you’ll get the perfect balance—just enough sheen to highlight the color while staying durable and easy to clean (because let’s be real, doors collect fingerprints fast!).
Let it dry fully before reattaching the hardware and admire your work. Painting a door is one of those projects that feels small but changes everything.
