Picking The Perfect Trim Colour For Your Home

Trims are the mouldings you find in a house between the ceiling and walls. Trim helps define a room’s style by adding dimension to walls. If used correctly and in an artistic way, window and door moulding also helps fill the gaps that exist in most houses.

 
Selecting trim colours is not a hard task. But that does not mean that you should just blindly pick a colour that happens to appeal to you. In order to create the look for your home that you want, it takes a bit more thought than that. However, choosing a trim colour does not have to be overwhelming either.Here are a few tips to help you in selecting the perfect trim colour for your home.

 
Unity is one thing that should be in mind when selecting colour for your trims. Let the trims in the living room have the small look, feel and effect present in the bedroom. To achieve this, paint the trim throughout the house in the same colour.

 

Painting trims should be handled in the same way you would when painting the rest of your home. Don’t buy all the paint needed for the job at once. First purchase a small amount and test it on a piece of poster board. Place the board of the wall colour to see how they look together. Only purchase the rest of your paint if you like the effect the test board presents.Having white trims is the best and safest choice for anyone who has coloured walls. This is because the white sets off the rest of the colour in an artistic way.

 

In rooms with dark or intensely coloured walls, white lightens and brightens the room resulting in a visual relief. If you’re rooms are painted with light or makes the colour look cleaner than it actually is.

 

To pick the right shade of white, get a paint chip of your wall colour and hold it up to a variety of white chips. The result should be that warm creamy tones will blend in well with warm colours while cool whites make a good partner for cool colours.You can choose to be bold and make a statement with your trim colours. This can be done by focusing attention on window and door frames by painting the woodwork darker than the walls.

 

Around windows, the darker trim frames the view to the outdoors the way a mat frames a picture. Off-white or cream walls with contrasting trim — gray-blue, muted green, mustard yellow, or barn red will work best for this.

 

Once you’ve relaxed and thought through what you want, selecting the colour should be easy and fun. Keep it simple and have fun while at it. Don’t hold back, let your trims speak out and reflect your personality.
