I would oil them if it's good timber. Paint is for walls, not good timber.

Re: To paint or not to paint??
As you may know, we are having a house built. All the doors and frames throughout the house are painted in a very light coffee colour, to co-ordinate with the walls.
Having a bit of a dilemma about what to do with the theatre room doors, and need some help please
The doors are solid wood, and I think they'd look lovely stained. My dilemma is, would this not look odd though, seen as the rest of the doors in the house are painted?
The theatre room is in the entrance hallway of the house, and there is only the master bedroom door (on the opposite side) in the near vicinity.
I've attached a picture of the door to help your decision making
Thanks

Thanks eveyone for your advice.
They've been painted, and they have painted clear stuff on the glass to protect it from the paint. When they are finished they just peel the clear stuff off, and all the paint comes off with it
