Ideas For Painting Your Trim
My clients often ask me for advice on which paint colors to use for trim and molding. So, I wrote a post about decorating with picture-frame wainscoting, and to my surprise it has become the most popular story on my blog. Needless to say, I thought it was time to do another post about trim.

Painting any type of trim can be a challenge, especially when you want to do something other than white. But it really just comes down to amount of impact you want your trim to have. Do you want it to stand out and be a focal point in your space? Or would you prefer that the trim blend-in and quietly reinforce the room’s color scheme? If you answered yes to either question, then take a look at the following photos for inspiration:
In the room pictured above, the crown molding blends into the room because it’s painted the same color as the walls. Design Tip: For a subtle difference, paint the trim in a different finish, such as a lacquer or high gloss finish.
Your trim will pop the most when you paint it with a vivid hue that contrasts against a more understated wall color or wall covering.
Design Tip: Create a monochromatic look by using two or three colors from the same color family, as shown in the photo above.
