Yet, trim work can also play a significant role in defining the character of a space as those other considerations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The importance of trim<\/strong><br \/>\nTrim is the finishing decoration that usually lines the edges of a room, including doors, windows, ceilings and floors. Often, trim is made of wood or polyurethane, and can have varying degrees of width.&nbsp;Trim can be as basic as a thin piece of rounded wood no bigger than a quarter of an inch thick running alongside the edges of the floor. It can also be incredibly ornate, with intricate repeating patterns cut into a crown molding that fits along the edges of a ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of trim can help emphasize the elements of a room, such as doors and windows, and it can also break up the visual impact of a blank wall. Some homes will have trim running alongside the walls of a room at about waist height to add some texture. Others will keep the trim as minimal as possible, making a space feel more stark and uninterrupted. Whether you&#039;re working with <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plans\/luxury_house_plans\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">luxury house plans<\/a> or smaller house plans, trim can serve as an elegant detail that helps tie a room together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Considering styles<\/strong><br \/>\nBesides choosing how much trim to have, homeowners should also give consideration to the style of trim they want. While it won&#039;t define a space on its own, trim will often act as an important extension of the rest of the house&#039;s style. If a home is more neocolonial, such as the design in <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/5989\/\">HHF-5989<\/a>, then the trim should match this aesthetic. More modern, minimalist homes may want for sharper, cleaner trim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trim can be an essential part in emphasizing a room&#8217;s design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[144],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interior-design-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
