CONTRASTING TRIM IDEAS

JENNA KATE AT HOME

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?

Painting baseboard and window trim the same color provides consistency but it's not a rule.

WALL AND TRIM COLOR COMBINATIONS

The darker trim, lighter wall combo works best when the walls are a shade of light. This really allows the trim color to stand out and have a moment, instead of competing with the wall color.

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.

Some of my favorite inspiration to help you decide on right color for your home!
