Common Applications
Baseboards
Beginning with the floor, you will find long strips of wood along the walls. Baseboards are the most common, and easiest to install of all the wall trims. They make for a smooth transition from wall to floor and give a finished look to your room. They come in many shapes, styles, and sizes.
Chair Rail
Chair rails rest just above the middle of your wall, about where dining chairs might make contact. Chair rails can create a subtle change in color in the room if you paint one color above and a complimentary color below. Or, they can sit above wainscoting to give a texture to the room.
Wainscoting
Wainscoting is not necessarily a trim, but rather a form of paneling. Wainscoting resides between the baseboards and chair (or picture) rail of your home! Paneling can create a nice texture for your home and allow for the room to flow better or seem taller. Some people skip out on the paneling and paint a complementary color in between the chair rail and baseboards for a subtle look.
Window and Door Casing
Casings can go along any window or door to give a complete look to any house. They can also be colored to compliment any theme for your home, while simultaneously giving extra protection to your windows or doors!
Picture Molding
Picture frame molding makes any room look high-end. Not only does it give the room more texture and depth, it makes the room look taller. These are an easy diy that anyone can do! These are not to be confused with picture rail molding.
Crown Molding
Crown molding significantly increases the value of homes with its luxurious feel. Crown molding is located where your wall meets the ceiling. It comes in many different styles and shapes, and can further be enhanced by adding baseboards below it to give it a longer, more exaggerated look.
