It’s amazing how much a bit of paint can update a space. The front hall in our third house was fine other than the wood trim and wood bi-fold doors on the closets. We bought this house, and the layout and bones were great, but the finishes were all a bit outdated. All we did in the front hall was replace the closet doors with some white colonial bi-folds, and paint the trim white. The painted wood trim is in the colour Simply White (Benjamin Moore) in semi-gloss. It looks so much brighter and more welcoming now.
