Window Trim Designs

One way to really dress up your home is by installing custom trim or molding. Unless your home was custom made your trim is probably a very inexpensive and bland variety. This is typical and sufficient, but who wants sufficient? In a weekend you can easily change the trim in one (or more) room and totally transform the look and feel of that room.

There are a huge variety of molding profiles or styles available and what you see at your local lumber store is probably just a small sample of what's available. If you can't find the profile that best suits your personal style then do a little research with the Wood Molding and Millwork Producers Association as they publish a very thorough catalogue of molding styles.

Once you've selected your molding or trim style you need to decide where you’re going to apply the trim and then learn the proper interior decorating lingo. Often the pieces are exactly the same, it’s just their placement in the room that gives them their proper names.
