We did the exterior of our powder room door (the only door on our main house level). I was so nervous but LOVE it. I wish I had the guts to do them all black.
Sorry, no picture. If I remember I'll take one later.

I love the look of the black doors, but haven't done them myself. All of our interior doors need to be replaced anyway honestly, so maybe I'll look into black doors!

Thanks, ladies! I want to do them all in the house (9 total), but my H doesn't want to do all of that painting. We already have to paint one on the 2nd floor, so why not add a few more, right? cjeanette did it make your hallway feel smaller? Our house is small and I worry it may make it feel closed in.

No, it just added more interest. I wish I had a picture. It's a small area so hard to get a camera in there!
Not gonna lie, I cringed at the first thought of this but I LOVE LOVE LOVE everyone's photos. I did this to kellikans black bedroom, too. I need to get over my fear of black paint apparently!

When I first suggested it to my H, he looked at me like I was crazy, but then you see it and it's beautiful.
Not black but we did a really dark espresso stain on all our doors as well as windows, all with white trim. I love it! Since there's lots of door pics already, here are just the windows (forgive the construction mess). Attachment Deleted Attachment Deleted
I'll put my question here since it fits the theme.
I love black or dark grey interior doors. I have never personally done it. I was thinking about it but we made the decision to go with oil rubbed bronze door knobs and hinges. I love love the look of that lol. When we first installed them I kept going over to admire it. My question is ... can you do black doors with the black knobs and hinges? I thought about doing a charcoal grey but my entire first floor going up to second floor hallway is Graceful Gray.. too much monotone in that scheme lol. So should I stick with a bright white to contrast the orb knobs and hinges or be daring and go with the contrast of the black door with black hardware vs grey walls.

We have ORB hardware and it's fine. Our doors are not a solid black, though, since they are stained dark. I personally don't think I'd do ORB on painted black doors.

We have both orb, and silver levers. I like the orb better on the back doors, and plan on replacing all the levers with ORB in the future. It seems more cohesive to me. No one has ever mentioned having trouble seeing them.

when we were replacing our doorknobs, I considered going with ORB. in the end we went with white porcelain, but I don't think there's anything wrong with ORB on black doors.
Thanks for the feedback! I had googled black doors with black knobs and couldn't find many examples. I think I will try it on one door and see how it goes. I think it will be fine. I'll post a picture when I do
