Should your molding match the color of the door? Doors are brown with cream colored molding. Should I paint the door cream or the molding brown? I like a clean modern style. Afraid painting all the molding brown will make my house to dark. Thoughts
Depends on the specifics of quantities, color, how much is going on in the room, etc. Overall, if you want it to be modern, I would err on the side of simplicity, and paint it all the same color. Without having seen it, I would personally tend toward the lighter color.
Keeping the trim color consistent throughout the space establishes continuity. Doors do not always have to be the same color, but if you have a contemporary architecture / design aesthetic, painting doors and moldings the same color would best support the design. Best of luck with your project!
