Hi there, decided to start a new series, called Design Details which sill focus in on any number of details related to interior design. Could be a current trend in paint color, use of florals, wallpaper, furniture styles that are en vogue, etc…you get the idea. I will do one-two of these monthly, it’s always fun to share what has caught my attention and I love hearing what you have to say on the matter.
Today is all about painted trim. A look I happen to love and did well before it was so popular (in my home 20 years ago!). Today, it seems to be all the rage and with good reason, when done right it’s fabulous and elevates just about any space to allow it to feel much more customized. So today I am sharing some examples that I think exemplify this look really well. Curious what you think?

This pale pale blue with the green is GORGEOUS! Dunbar Road
How about a room where the walls and trim are al painted the same color, sure works beautifully here! Digs Design Co
Cathy Kincaid is a master in my book of using color with prints, these peachy walls are so warm and make this space so inviting
Sheldon and Sons used contrast paint only on the windows, very handsome and striking
A pretty and very fresh periwinkle was used on the vanity and trim (not sure of source have had this in my files for a long time)
How about this salmon pantry! I think the fact that it gets lots of natural light makes this color work, Newbury-Home
Bold and beautiful! Guest House Studio
I practice what I preach! Here is my office/mudroom in Palmetto Bluff
This fresh green paired with the walloper is such an elegant and refreshed look on an old classic, Diana Rosepier
Fox Group treated all walls and trim in the same beautiful rich moody gray
Love this soft pale pink in this beautiful bathroom paired with a gorgeous walloper Jenkins Interiors
I think this s such a rich and elegant space, love that green and the lacquer is a major bonus! Washington Post
Whats not to love here! Love this soft gray/blue with the fabulous handprinted walls, Marie Flanagan
Love how Cathy Kincaid used this gorgeous rich celadon green to treat the walls, trim and mantle
A beautiful soft blue/gray was applied to all spaces in this pretty dining room
A great look to carry over into a powder rooms, works beautifully in smaller spaces too especially when paired with wallpaper, Fox Group
Another stunning case for going green, love this cozy and elegant space, Cynthia Hayes Interiors
How about the combination of painted trim with breadboard, this it looks amazing!

So, have I made a compelling argument for using colored trim? I think so! I plan to use this detail on a few rooms when our renovation is complete. I think, personally, its most effective and gives max wow factor when done in a few choice spots (not every room). I love it for a bedroom, study and dining room. OK, now it’s your turn to weigh in. Always love to hear what you think! Until next time…
SNEAK PEEK ON OUR ENORMOUS PORCELAIN PREALE STARTING TOMORROW (BIGGEST CONTAINER IN OVER A YEAR!) SO SO GOOD!
I’m so glad you did this post!! I’ve been wanting to do this in our family room. I’m struggling with how much painted trim is too much?!!? I have built in bookcases, fireplace with over mantel mill work as well as wide mill work around the windows and French doors!!! Just wondering if that is too much painted trim?!!? Thinking about something in the green family with neutral walls. I would love your thoughts.
The painted trim and wallpaper look has been around forever.. And the trim painted same color as walls. Think Victorian, Colonial, Country Living, Mediterranean. It’s what you like for your home. One person may prefer mahogany for library room and another person might prefer lacquered panel.
Tina, this is such a great post, so many good visuals. I agree this look has gotten very very popular recently I’m seeing it everywhere.!
I really like it for bedrooms and dining rooms, I think it’s too much for living rooms and much larger spaces. Of course, that is my own personal opinion.
i’m also happy you will turn this into a new series because I love your take on design
I want to apply this to my daughters bedroom, redo in a soft pink, so many good ideas here, thank you.
You are absolutely right about painted trim. I’ve been doing it for over 30 years in different applications. Sometimes using the same color on walls and trim in different sheen levels also creates great results!
I really like the painted trim look! I have never done this in my homes. I just might have to try it in a few rooms in our lake house. It really does add some warmth and coziness to a room! Thank you for inspiring me! PS Love your office and mud room in PB!!
Absolutely love what you have done with your office/mudroom. Can you supply a source for beautiful lampshades to improve the “standard” white shade that comes with every lamp.
I love EVERYTHING you do! Thanks for the new series. I would love to try painting a rooms trim/window but too scared to try it. Plus, I have white window shutters not sure they would look good from the outside painted a different color.
Really, Really enjoyed this post !! I’m surprised at how much I love the painted trim & think I’ll redo my bathroom using this idea !! Thanks for the inspiration !! ❤️
