What Is Interior Trim and Why Is It Important?
Trim and molding bring structure, dimension, and elegance to a space. They hide imperfections, frame architectural elements, and enhance overall aesthetics.
Types of Interior Trim
- Crown Molding: Runs along ceilings; adds height and sophistication.
- Baseboards: Protect walls from scuffs; visually ground the room.
- Window/Door Casings: Frame openings; create a polished look.
- Chair Rails and Picture Rails: Add old-world charm and protection.
Benefits of Custom Molding
- Adds value to your home
- Matches any architectural style
- Paint or stain for contrast or blending
- Highlights focal points like fireplaces or ceilings
DIY or Hire a Pro?
While small trim work is doable for handy homeowners, complex molding installations require precision cuts and smooth joins — best left to pros.
