DIY fan paints her white doors black – and leaves people 'gasping' over results
Homeowner Nicola has shared a video of her painting her white doors black. She says anyone who does the same won't regret it.
Black doors might not be the first choice for many homeowners, but one woman has taken to TikTok to assure everyone that it's a decision they "won't regret," as she showcased her transformed white doors.
Homeowner Nicole, who shares her passion for monochrome design on TikTok under the username @themonomanor, is no stranger to bold interior choices, with several black-painted features in her home.
And her latest DIY project involved giving her doors a dramatic makeover from white to black.
In a video shared with her followers, Nicole can be seen rolling a coat of black paint over her previously white doors, overlaying the clip with text: "You won't regret painting your doors black."
After completing the task, Nicole proudly displayed the chic black doors, which seamlessly complement her bedroom's neutral and grey palette.

@themonomanor You won’t regret painting you doors black… When we first said to people we were painting the doors black, there was that gasp… But everyone that has seen our black doors, loves them painted black as much as we do & we always get so many compliments on them. I’ve had lots of people ask if we painted the inside of the doors & yes we did! If you’re debating it, do it! You won’t regret it! The doors did need 3 coats of paint & used approx 5/6 tins of 750ml paint on 15 doors.
