Do you paint interior doors same color as trim?
It’s a common question, “Do interior doors and trim have to match?” The short answer is no. The doors and trim can be whatever style and color you want them to be. Your home’s design is entirely up to you.
Can you paint walls and trim white?
If your interior design style is eclectic or quirky and you like to add pops of color through soft furnishings and ornaments, consider a ‘white on white’ backdrop. A fresh coat of white paint on wall trims and on all the walls will give you a modern, clean and satisfying finish.
Why do I paint my walls and trim the same color?
Perhaps you have beams on your ceiling, crown molding, or a unique wall niche that you want to take center stage. Paint everything else the same so it fades away while you shine a spotlight on your room’s unique architecture. If you have a small room, painting the walls and trim the same color will actually make it feel larger.
What kind of paint to use on trim and walls?
When painting walls and trim the same color, I recommend painting trim one sheen higher. For this space, I chose to paint trim in a semi-gloss finish and walls in eggshell. Semi-gloss is perfect for trim, because it is durable and cleans easily.
Do you paint crown moulding the same color as the walls?
Painting crown moulding, baseboards, and trim the same color as walls elevates the entire space. It creates an understated elegance that simply wasn’t there before. It’s easy to see how painting crown moulding the same color as the walls makes ceilings appear higher than they actually are.
Is it better to paint the ceiling the same color as the walls?
This works especially well if you have crown molding (making sure to paint it the same color as the walls and ceiling). It seems that crown molding would lower the ceiling but, when done right, it can add height to a room. However, in some instances, it works better to paint the ceiling and walls different colors.
