When you walk into an older home built in the early part of the 1900's, what do you notice first? You are immediately awe struck by the great baseboards, crown moldings,wainscoting, coffered ceilings. The list goes on. Today, most homes are without the beauty of great trim work yet if you look around your space and it feels lacking in personality, this is a great place to start. Wood trim adds not only to the quality of your space, but it adds dimension and interest. It is important to understand trim and how it relates to the scale of your doorway, the height of your ceilings and the size of your room. Molding profiles can be simple for a more streamlined effect or quite detailed. Again, use of trim is a terrific tool that will reflect your personality.
The photos below show where trim has been added to a home where previously very little to no trim existed. A design plan was created for the homeowner that will include window treatments, furniture purchases and more but starting with the addition of trim, glorious trim is the perfect start in reaching what will be a gorgeous finish.
What you see is prior to any paint color changes on walls or painting the trim itself.
