When planning an interior painting project, the color of your trims is as important as that of the walls. The shade you choose will affect the look of the room and give it character. Here are some tips for choosing paint that fits your decor and personality.

What Colors to Choose for Interior Trim

1. Match the Walls

Choose your wall paint first, then use it to create a cohesive color scheme for the room. To do this, consider the temperature of the shade you’ve chosen for the walls.

Warm hues like red, orange, and beige match other warm tones. Cooler colors like blue, green, and gray require other cool shades. An interior painter can help you pick cool or warm variations of your wall colors.

2. Create Contrast

Choose a shade that matches other parts of your home decor, such as your couch, throw pillows, or artwork. Stick to complementary hues that sit on opposite sides of the color wheel. For example, if the walls are orange, pastel blue will stand out against it.

3. Go Neutral

Not everyone is interested in zany colors for their interior painting projects, and that’s okay. White is a classic for a reason, and it will look beautiful in virtually any room. Not all shades of white are created equal. Alabaster and eggshell have slightly warm undertones, while powder and snow have hints of coolness. Pick an undertone that matches the temperature of your decor. 

Other neutral trim colors include black and different brown tones. Black can add some boldness to a predominantly white space, while browns or beiges give trims a natural wood look.
