What is Contrast Trim?
Contrast trim pairs light colored walls (often a neutral like white or light gray / beige) with a different colored trim. The darker and more saturated the color, the more drama it adds to a room.
Why Choose Contrasting Trim?
When you are dying to add some color to your neutral home but don’t feel up to the task of painting walls, painting only the wall mouldings, door casings, and interior doors a darker color is the perfect solution for less effort.
It’s a great way to highlight ornate mouldings and intricate architectural features in an old home. And it’s especially a great choice in smaller spaces when you want to create some visual interest without adding clutter.
That’s the case for our hallway, stairway, and foyer. It’s so very white, which I have enjoyed. But I can’t stop imagining how dynamic it would look with a pop of contrasting paint on the trim, crown moulding, and doors.
Can you envision it yet?
Imagine how a dose of color with a blue or green color scheme would look on the trim and wainscoting!
