Painting The Trim Around Your Home
Posted on June 28, 2023
Painting the trim around and within your home seems like a pretty easy project to many, all you do is slap some white, beige, or whatever color you had in mind on every piece of trim in the entire house and call it a day, right? Be warned— what results will not be what you expected. Repainting interior trim in any room or over your entire home can be a daunting task, especially if the paint is fading, peeling, or has scuffs all over it.
When it comes to even moderately damaged trim and/or molding, you may want to call the professionals here at CertaPro Painters of Richmond Hill and Vaughan, ON as we have the expertise and can provide you with multiple options that you may not normally be able to do or afford if you went with the do-it-yourself route.
Along with painting, our team can also handle small carpentry projects such as hanging and installing new molding and trim. Some people don’t consider replacing the trim because they feel it is a small detail that will go unnoticed, but even subtle changes can transform a room in ways you never would have imagined. As with many things in home design, a small tweak can make a huge impact.
Unsure what color to paint the trim or molding around your home? Here are some suggestions we have to help guide you:
1. Paint the Trim the Same as the Walls
There is something modern and soothing about trim painted the exact same colour as the walls. It creates a seamless look and works well if you plan to leave your walls bare or cover them with a thousand pieces of art.
2. Paint the Crown Molding a Shade Darker than the Walls
It’s crisp and modern but somehow mellower than vice versa. And it works in any style room with any style trim. You could also go a few or several shades darker if you are feeling really daring.
3. Unexpected Colours Can Work for Your Door & Window Trim
Beige and gray are nice. But so is lavender against a yellow ocher wall. This style of room is elegant and classic and surprising and unique all at the same time. Look for colours that complement each other on the colour wheel and pick from those spectrums.
4. Black as a Primary Baseboard Painting Colour
As classic as bright white, but more elegant and serious. It helps to have slightly more ornate trim when you use black. It’s almost as if it is meant to bring out the pedigree and history of a house.
