Trim It Up Beautifully

If you have updated the color of your room, love your new furniture and window coverings but still feel something is missing, then interior trim might be the solution you are looking for. Wainscoting, chair rails and molding are three great options for adding spice to any room.

Wainscoting:
Wainscoting is the application of any paneled or boarded wood treatment below a chair rail. The versatility of wainscoting makes it perfect for any style home. It is appropriate for both informal and formal settings. Panels give an upscale feel to a room whereas boarded wainscoting creates a more casual effect.

Chair Rails:
Chair rails often serve as a transition/dividing line of a wall, providing a break between wallpapered and painted parts of the wall. They are often used in long hallways to divide the narrow space both architecturally and decoratively. Applied to the walls of a powder room or other small room, a chair rail creates the illusion of a larger space.

Moldings:
Moldings, whether crown or trim, provide a finishing touch to any room. These architectural moldings come in a variety of profiles and heights. Building upon one another allows you to be as dramatic as you choose. Crown, trim and baseboard should always be a consistent style throughout the home. Choose a simpler profile of the same style for the bedroom as opposed to a more decorative profile for the entry.
