Matching interior trims can remarkably enhance the look and feel of a home. Window casings, door casings, baseboards, and crown moldings should match to make the space look cohesive and attractive. In this article, a reputable siding and window contractor takes a quick look at a few rules to follow when it comes to matching window trims with the rest of your interior.
Stick to One Style
On the market, there is a wide variety of trim styles that you can choose from, but you’ll only need to select one architectural style and stick with it. Your window casing, stool, and apron should complement the existing style you’re using for your baseboard and crown. An experienced window design consultant can help you strike the balance you need.
Keep Trims to Scale
Your trims should be scaled according to the size of the windows and rooms. Large trims can make replacement windows look smaller than they already are, which can make a room appear more confined than it actually is. Conversely, small-sized trims may not create an impact when placed in a large room. Consult your window installer about how to properly size trims in proportion to the interior elements of your home.
Be Creative
In some instances, it may be necessary to use trims on specialty windows or to coordinate with other interior trims in old historic homes. These designs may no longer be available, so you’ll have to sprinkle a little bit of creativity into matching trim designs or styles.
