Brand new- reno- doors and trim
Doing a drastic gut job reno on new basement in a 'small' house.
Read where everybody now likes white doors and trim. I was going to buy 5(total amount of interior doors in whole house) 6 panel oak doors and oak trim and stain them light oak.
Primary for durability (oak) cause it doesnt ding and dent like soft wood,,,and 6 panel is LESS prone to fist damage/holes
If I were going to paint white maybe a 6 panel pine door would be just as effective and a little cheaper.
What style of door and 'trim' is in style these days?????,,,,I am SOOOO old I am 30 years behind the times
So do I stain light oak which I consider more timeless,,,or paint white??? What profile of trim both base trim and door casing???
TIA-cause IB just don

6-Panel doors painted white (jamb and trim as well) is pretty standard these days, even for lower-end rehabs. If you're going to do higher-end rehabs, there are some other options, but at that point you're getting into custom materials, hardware and trim.
