Contrasting Trim Ideas

Are you intrigued by the idea of painting your trim darker than your walls? The trend of contrast trim is gaining momentum – and for good reason! 

Contrasting trim or contrast trim is when baseboard trim, door casings and interior doors are painted a darker color than the walls.

What is Contrast Trim?

For most people, white is the best trim color, because it’s a safe bet that works with all wall colors.

What is The Best Trim Color?

It’s certainly easier in terms of consistency to keep them all one color. And I certainly wouldn’t go painting them different shades of white.

Wall and Trim Color Combinations

As a general rule, if you’re using a warmer greige, gray or beige for the contrast trim, pick a white with a slightly warm undertone.

If you opt for a cooler gray on your trim, stick to a neutral white like Pure White that will stop the whole space from feeling too cold.
