Your doorway can provide a dramatic entrance in to a room and serve as a decorative frame
for your décor. But since it’s also an area where people pass, it might also show
signs of wear and tear. Now people often bump in to a doorway, especially when moving furniture
in to and out of a room, so providing a fresh coat of paint to a doorframe and trim can
potentially enhance the look of the entire room. Again, choose a good quality paintbrush
and paint to provide the best effect.
Now we recommend using a sheen that’s higher in gloss than what’s on your walls as this
will showcase your trim and doors by separating from the rest of the walls. However, this
is a personal choice. Now use a paint brush rather than a roller for this project to provide
a professional quality look. Now rollers are typically used to paint larger surfaces like
the walls and ceilings.
Now you wanna make sure that you hold the paintbrush around the metal part of the brush
that holds the bristles for the best control for your paint. Start by painting the door
frame from the top to the bottom. And then with the door ajar, it’s time to start painting
the trim. You want to start by carefully cutting in near the inside wall like so, and then
continue painting around the rest of the trim to achieve a professional looking finish.
Wait until the paint completely dries before you go adding a second coat to the doorframe
and trim.
