Darker Trim Than Walls
White Walls with Black Trim
If you’re going for a touch of sophistication, you can’t go past the timeless, classic, and sleek look of white walls with black trim. The minimalist design brings a sense of calm to the home. The white walls serve as a blank canvas and the black trim works as an accent to create a clean and modern feel.
White Walls with Grey Trim
White walls and grey trim creates a clean, minimalist vibe with an air of elegance. This design is intended to provide a sense of balance and order in your space. Due to the colours’ neutral nature, it also produces a calming effect - working well for country and Hamptons style homes.
White Walls with Dark Brown Trim
White walls with dark brown trim is a simple, yet eclectic look. A room with this colour combination produces a formal and minimalist feel. Preferably, this colour pairing should be used for bigger spaces/interiors with high ceilings, as it tends to make small places look smaller.
Cream Walls with Black Trim
Cream walls provide the perfect backdrop to any colour or pattern - and especially look great when paired with black trim. The warm, inviting vibe from the cream balances well with black’s sophisticated look. It’s the perfect option if looking for an interesting contrast, without being too ‘trendy’.
Light Blue Walls with Dark Trim
Light blue walls with dark trim makes your home look and feel clean and spacious. They also produce a calming, airy feel - making them ideal for bedrooms and home office. This colour combination is a great choice if looking for a modern and sophisticated style.
White Trim For Walls
Grey Walls with White Trim
Featuring white trim around grey walls offers a subtle, but powerful, contrast. It’s probably why it’s a popular combination for interior designers. Grey walls are a must-have for minimalist homes, with the white trim creating a fresh, clean vibe. Classic and timeless.
Light Grey Walls with White Trim
Using white trim with light grey walls is a stunning way to create a sophisticated interior. The neutral combination works well with whichever coloured furniture or accents you’d like to add to the room. It also works well with floorboards or tiles.
Blue Grey Walls with White Trim
Blue grey walls with white trim is a popular design trend as it creates an elegant and relaxing ambience. In addition, the combination of the muted colour and pure white makes spaces feel light, airy, open, and inviting. Works best for rooms that are brightly lit or have large windows because they reflect light very well.
Light Blue Walls with White Trim
Using a combination of light blue walls with white trim is great for adding a fresh splash of colour to your interior. They also create an illusion of spaciousness, making your rooms look bigger and easier to breathe in. With light blue seen as a calming colour, it also works well in nurseries and children’s bedrooms.
White Walls with White Trim
Having both white walls and trim in a space is great for achieving a cleaner, more cohesive look. It also provides the decorator or homeowner more freedom when it comes to choosing furnishings - as there’s no risk of clashing colours. Vibrant artworks and signature pieces will thrive in the fresh-looking environment.
Off White Walls with White Trim
Off-white walls and white trim provide an open and elegant look. Like the white walls with white trim option, this combination offers the perfect blank-canvas backdrop to colourful and highly textured furnishings. While subtle, opting for off-white rather than plain white can make all the difference to a room.
Paint Colours that Go With Natural Wood Trim
With so many shades to choose from, choosing colours to match natural wood trim comes down to personal preference.
Off-white and cream are popular for the warmth they bring to a room. However, you may choose to move beyond neutral tones for something a bit different.
Blue Walls with Wood Trim
Featuring blue walls with wood trim is great for adding colour to an interior, while keeping a natural feel to the space. Light blue walls add character, without being too vibrant or bold. But if you wish to bring a room to life, a darker blue tone is the way to go.
Cream Trim Wall Colour
A cream trim wall colour is a great choice for homes. It produces a classic look with a touch of timeless elegance and a light and welcoming feel. For this reason, the cream is perfect for Hamptons or country-style homes. The most popular colours for pairing are black, white, and light blue.
Mixing Interior Trim Styles
Mixing interior trim styles can be a tricky proposition when it comes to design.
Dark wood trim with light colours work well if you want to create a room that feels cozy and inviting. Light wood trim with darker colours is recommended if you’re looking for a more dramatic accent in your room.
