Nothing quite pulls a space together like coordinating trim.
Deciding on a neutral or color, and which color, and which hue of that color, can get a little overwhelming.
Here are a few tips to make it easy:
- Rich tones are in, but that doesn’t have to mean Victorian-era dark saturation. Modern rich tones can be a little more subdued, but just as robust – even neutrals such as Balanced Beige by Sherwin-Williams, a true balance between cool and warm.
- While neutrals are always an option, and highlight architectural styles like molding, color adds interest and a layer of sophistication. For bolder hues, the trim color should match something in the existing elements like wallpaper, curtains or a spot of color on a rug. This makes the overall design cohesive.
- When choosing paint finish, high gloss is considered to make the most impact – if you want a more dramatic look. I tend to reserve high gloss for high traffic areas.
