White internal doors
White internal doors arrive in one of two states. Primed doors come with a factory undercoat and need topcoats applied on site. Fully finished doors arrive painted and ready to hang. Primed costs less and lets you match an existing white exactly; fully finished saves a weekend and a great deal of dust.
White is the most forgiving door in a house that has been altered more than once. Where oak asks the rest of the joinery to agree with it, paint lets a 1930s architrave, a 1990s skirting and a new opening all read as one thing.
The decision that actually costs money is not the style. It is whether you paint them yourself.

Primed or fully finished?
Painting a door properly is roughly a day per door once you count drying time between coats, and it has to happen somewhere dust-free with room to lay the leaf flat. On a five-door landing that is a serious commitment, and it is why fully finished doors sell despite costing more.
| Primed | Fully finished | |
|---|---|---|
| Arrives | Factory undercoat, usually a flat off-white | Painted, ready to hang |
| Work left to do | Two topcoats, plus sanding and drying time per door | Hang it |
| Colour control | Total — match any existing white | Whatever the maker supplies |
| Cost | Lower up front, plus paint and your time | Higher up front |
| Damage repair later | Easy, you already have the paint | Needs a colour match |
There is no such thing as one white
A brilliant white door against a slightly warm white architrave looks like a mistake, and it is the sort of mistake you cannot stop seeing. If the existing joinery is staying, take a sample of it to match the door paint against, rather than assuming white is white.
If everything is being redecorated, do it the other way round: let the door set the white and paint the trim to match. Doors are the harder thing to change your mind about.
Hollow core or solid core
White doors are often the cheapest doors in a catalogue, and the cheapest doors are usually hollow core. That is not automatically wrong. A hollow core leaf is light enough for one person to hang and is perfectly sensible on a bedroom or a cupboard.
It matters in two places. A hollow core door has a lock block, which is a solid section built into one edge — you can only fit a latch or a lock where the block is, and the manufacturer will tell you where that is. And a hollow leaf sounds hollow, which is noticeable on a bathroom or a home office where you wanted a little sound separation.
