Designer Shares Crucial Trick for Painting Door Trim

When someone refers to the term ”builder-grade” they are referencing the technique used on their built house, typically the style seen in larger housing developments and commonly built contractor houses. They are often made using the cheapest and most bare bones and basic materials, with features that are “just enough” like small tub/shower combos , basic bedroom closets, and boring wood doors..

A builder-grade door is just what you think it is… a blank piece of flattened wood; lacking character, charm, and aesthetics. But one simple way to make your builder-grade door look custom is by painting it the same color as the trim. A lot of homeowners have started doing this but the day-old question is where do you stop the trim color on the door for each side of it? Check it out below!

The woman's advice is so straightforward and makes painting door trim a no-brainer! When the door is open paint the ends to match which trim they face. Simple does it!

Hack for Painting a Door

You still use the paintbrush or roller, still use your arm to apply the paint, and still use sawhorses to hold the door, but in a completely different way. The trick? Takes the door off the hinges, screw a strong screw into each end of the door, and then set the screw ends onto the saw horses. This allows the door to sping, so after painting one side you can flip it and paint the other side, and the edges without any wait time in between!
