    As Paddy on this, brings out the door more with the white architrave.

    And if you choose a slightly darker wall colour like a biscuit or praline/almond type colour,then it will make the oak doors and white skirting really pop out and make a statement.

    Im in the process of repainting the walls to suit,see 1st pic attached.

    Thanks Paddy, just needed to reassure myself, i was thinking myself that the contrast does really make the doors "pop" but just hadn't really see it done before.

    Thanks very much for the pics!!........... sweet looking kitchen by the way!

    Fair play to the builder and carpenter for comming up with that idea,when the house was being renovated and extended.

    And fair play to my girlfriend for picking out the colours and painting it all herself.

    Shes a woman on a mission.:D

    I seen it done in a house i fitted in and thought it was a great idea, no doors opening in or out of the way. I am a cabinet maker by trade and have a load of cool ideas for our house when its built.

    I like that 1 feature more than the actual entire house.

    Reason being exactly what you have said above........no doors on hinges to swing open or closed.

    Means a bigger sense of space and more actual floor space too.:)

    People think I was too cheap and broke to fit doors,when they come into the house and the doors are opened back into the wall.

    They dont cop or notice that the doors are there.

    Love it.
