This Is How You Pick Trim Colors! *PERFECT BASEBOARD COLORS*

[@CM-zf8ci]

I would def like to hear more on dark trim. I have lots of thin oak trim in an open concept and standard bright white trim in the two bedrooms and white doors in hallway. Since I got the black dog, I’ve been thinking of darkening EVERYTHING. Just not confident about that decision yet…

Dropping a video on darker trims tomorrow actually!

[@marblehead3398]

Interested in darker trim for New England, historical, colonial look. Also, whish warm white for walls is best especially in northern light.

[@andreas.251]

I second that… yes, please!

Your videos are the best! I was just an BM today agonizing over trim. I’m going with White Dove! In Advantage

[@mariaramirez4357]

My same experience, made mistake of purchasing sample jar of dove white? Wanted white dove, can you show how it turned out please, thank you.

[@judymiller5154]

I'm thinking of darker trim color now that I'm living more rustic - dry mountains, dog/cat/horse, hubby in construction, so white is simply impractical. I just saw sparrow in the pashmina vid.

[@joantrotter3005]

This might be helpful; I found that a capfull of 3% peroxide in a cup of Greased Lightning got welding fingerprints off a white fridge! Can't be used on all surfaces though.

I think always using white on windows and floor skirting boards looks a bit dull and basic. I discovered if I use the same colour as the wall then it looks much more modern and stylish plus the ceilings look higher too.

Yes,want to hear about dark trim colors for traditional colonial like Colonial Williamsburg.

Hey Tom, releasing a new video on darker trims tomorrow.

[@jessicamerrill4837]

I would love to hear your thoughts on different colors of trim! I've seen rooms I really love with white walls and gray or beige trim and doors.

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Jessica, if you love it, that's all that matters, but coincidentally tomorrow's video is going to be about darker trim colours...so be sure to check that out! ;)

[@Timetravel1111]

Our home is eclectic! We are eccentric and swing dance, dress vintage yet with grey walls and white crown/ cove trim is a bit sad, yet we kept it to balance out our home items / decor? Thoughts on this? We have entry to living and a lot windows wood floors… I really love to have the 1927 house look amazing.

[@CorvusCloudburst]

Love all the trim info--thank you! It would be super awesome to hear your take on darker trims too! I really want to use Benjamin Moore's Silhouette on my trim. I think it would be very cozy with brown walls.

[@AndrewBrauer-gn2bq]

Love your videos! How about trim for beige tiles? They're not leaving anytime soon (sadly) so I need to go with that. I have Joseph's-coat-of-many-beiges tiles - pink, orangish, green and taupe mixed all together. I'm nervous that an off-white isn't "off" enough and will still look too stark. Have you done a video working with dated beige tiles? Thanks :)

[@sudzy7603]

I need your advice! I have chosen Wythe Blue to paint my L-shaped living room-dining room. Would you paint the ceiling and all trim the same color??? I thought that might look nice but don’t want to do it until I get your thoughts. Thank you SO MUCH!!!

[@deborahlehotsky2355]

I don’t want to change my oak trim …. Can we have paint and decorating updates for homes with gorgeous oak trim please?

[@maryanna71701]

Great video! Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🍽🦃

[@MsPRETTYLILAC]

I have old house (1964) with highly textured ceiling. Possibly shotgun plaster. This ceiling is surrounded by large curved moldings throughout the house. The curved moldings are possibly 14 inches. They too are textured. Mainly sand rough and uniform. Currently are painted white on both ceiling and large moldings. Should I paint the molding different color but similar to white ceiling when I repaint. The current white paint on both does a great job in unifying ceiling and molding which does emphasizes the architectural feature.

[@naomiunrau8976]

We've painted our livingroom which slso has two interior doors, BM cloud white. What color should the door frames and doors be? Simply White? Decorator white? Cloud white, semi gloss?

What's your thoughts on black color trim in a bedroom with 3brown walls 1wall cream? Or would u opt to do trim/skirtingboard doorframe brown?

[@daliacolon2904]

Need medium- dark trim colors for even the doors

[@xortxtreamoffroadtrucks5652]

I painted my walls ultra white what color should I paint the trim 🤔

[@marcellavoy9349]

Should wainscotting be painted with a gloss sheen?

[@mariaramirez4357]

This is my dilemma, my crown molding has been a dark satin sheen brown stain, forever, and cannot see changing it even tho ceiling has been flat, walls flat, white scheme, what is your opinion?

[@pedroscigar2906]

I have the same question.

[@kingali00]

I have brown trim color what’s a best paint to go with

[@elizabethchristina1]

Very interested in dark trim. We are wanting to do sw tricorn black on the baseboards and casing. However I can't find very much on black trim.

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Hale! Have you had a look at this video by chance? kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6eoaHmrlpp6i7c

[@rachelpatterson7247]

What color would you paint the trim and crown molding if the walls were painted with Benjamin Moore Simply white?

[@ItsMe-vd4qi]

Rachel, most designers would suggest sticking with Benjamin Moore simply white but doing the trim in a different sheen. So in other words, if you used that color in flat on your walls, you’d want to do that same color in a semi or satin finish for your trim. That way, you get dimension and the whites don’t clash or look dirty since they have the same undertone. Hope that helps

[@polocash11]

If I paint baseboards to match walls, do I use the same sheen? Can I do this only in living area? Kitchen, dining and family room pretty open less arch between family and dining. Dining and kitchen are like one. Kitchen changing color from med olive to a med blue. Family room is beige.

[@ItsMe-vd4qi]

Use a different sheen for baseboards and trim. Walls shouldn’t have as much sheen as the trim.

[@joinkansas7819]

Did you mean to include a link to your favorite trim color? It's not there....

[@thepaintpeople]

Thanks Jo, I'll have a look.

[@jibmaster]

What are your thoughts about having light almond, vinyl windows? I always see white vinyl with white base/trim/doors. I was considering a light almond or towards antique white for the trim and doors. Wall colors are dark: Northern light Blue, tan and sea salt blue (very very light) on walls. My thought again using a very off white or light tan trim would be complimentary. Great video here btw. Thank you.

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Brian, my thoughts are the light almond will likely contrast with the blues in your palettes, so it'll make the almond look more beige. If you use warm off whites, they will lean into their undertones more next to the blue, looking less white. If you want that crisp contrast, then go with a cooler white. All depends on the look you prefer.

[@barbaralogan1667]

Hi, how are you? My question is my beams in in my living room and the trim in my dining is a light stain. We installed our chair rail. It’s been there about 15 years. It is also stained. I now want to paint only the chair rail white. What do you think?

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Barbara, I think it could work great. It'll make your furniture stand out.

[@thepaintpeople]

Hi Kim! Have you considered matching the trim color to your wall color?

[@cancungem]

My painter is suggesting BM "White" for ceiling, baseboards, doors, & trim as it will need fewer coats than Chantilly Lace. My 1st floor walls will be BM White Heron / Oxford White & I have White / Light Oak Floors. Upstairs colors are After the Rain, First Light, November Skies, Quiet Moments, Crystalline, & SW Sea Salt. I watched your video where you said you wouldn't recommend BM "White" for trim. Would you still say no to BM White for trim? I've asked my painter to sample it for me. THANK YOU!

[@kaypeters3773]

Can you advise me on the best paint for my trims if I’m using Agreeable Gray for the walls with an accent Naval wall?
