Choosing the Right Color for Your Trim

painting your trimOne of the last things people usually think of when painting the interior of their home is the trim. The outlining piece of a room, there are many different options to try depending on the atmosphere you are looking to create. From natural wood to classic white, there is a much wider array of colors to choose from than most of us realize.

Bright

A great way to add personality to your home is with bold colored trim. We love the idea of pairing a rich red trim with a beige wall or summer yellow with classic white.  Paired with a neutral wall, this pop of color is playful and fun without forcing you to commit to a dramatic look.

White

A classic choice regardless of what color your walls are, white trim creates a clean feeling that ties the rooms of your home together seamlessly. A great option for homes with various molding styles, white trim creates symmetry and allows the attention to remain with wall art and furnishings. It is also a great choice to pair with bold wall color, preventing robust shades from swallowing up small spaces.

Neutral

To highlight the architecture in your home, we recommend choosing a neutral shade. Paired with white walls, this draws attention to the molding in a sophisticated and attractive way. Neutral trim looks great with a colored ceiling, creating a cozy and intimate space perfect for living rooms and bedrooms.

Wood

To add extra texture and create a traditional or rustic feel, wood trim is the perfect option to choose. Depending on the color and finish, wood can match any interior design style and pairs beautifully with natural wood floors, tile and carpets alike!

Whether you have just purchased a new home or are making some changes to your current abode, professionally painted walls can create the atmosphere you desire. When choosing your paint colors, don’t forget to think about the trim! To get started on your next painting project, contact Richard Stewart Painting at 1-818-951-1181.
