Your wall’s trim is an overlooked, but important aspect of your interior design. Selecting the right color for your trim can make the details of your room stand out, or, if you’d prefer, blend seamlessly together. If you’re wondering how to match your walls with your trim, why not consider these three, unique options?
Match Your Wall and Trim Colors
While it’s not the only option, painting your walls and the trim the same, identical color is a great way to make them match. Painting them cohesively makes the trim disappear, which can elongate rooms that are small, narrow, and have low ceilings. If you’d rather not match your walls and trim exactly, you can add a subtle bit of contrast by using a paint color for your trim that’s slightly lighter or darker than the wall. Alternatively, try out different paint sheens. This way, you’ll achieve a similar effect, but still have a wall and trim that are distinguishable from one another.
Go for a Traditional White
If you want the color of your wall to shine, a traditional, basic white is the perfect, complementary color for your trim. A white trim can lighten and brighten the space without diverting attention from the darker, bolder paint on your walls. You don’t have to settle for a white that’s stark white, either. If you’re looking for a bit of variety, give some other, off-shades of white a try. There’s pearl, alabaster, cotton, eggshell, and plenty of other options to choose from.
Pick Something Bold
Another way to match your walls with your trim is to pick something bold. If you want to show off some of your home’s unique architectural features, a vibrant, stand-out trim paired with a subdued wall color is the way to go. This way, you can show off any fine details, like carving work or a unique shape. If your wall is a plain white, any flashy, bright color should work. For a wall that’s more cream-colored, give pastel and neutral shades a try. Soft pinks, blues, and greens are complementary, as are dark, rich shades of brown and gray.
