Want White Trim? How to Get It Done Right

The use of white-colored trim in a home may seem automatic to many interior designers, but there are actually some very good reasons for doing so. Here are some of our ideas that show what can be done with white trim:

• Define a Space – White trim draws the eye and can be used to delineate subspaces in a large room. For instance, you can draw attention to a breakfast nook, a bar area or a sitting area with the proper use of white trim.

• Add Contrast – The use of white trim around the perimeter of dark painted walls can really accentuate the base color especially if the ceiling is done in a matching tone.

• Try Minimalism – For those homeowners who prefer a contemporary or modern look, white trim on white walls can create a very minimalist and chic backdrop for the rest of their décor. In fact, it’s perfect for highlighting that one magnificent art piece.
