First, let’s define what trim is.
Trim – “Carpentry, mainly shelves and / or carpentry for the finishing of door and window openings, chimneys, walls and other elements. Common types of trims are running trim, standing trim and side of trim.” This definition was sourced from Diamond Millwork’s website, they have a glossary of millwork terms, check it out.
Trim can provide incredible detail and character to your home and elevate your space. Ryan loves to work to determine finish carpentry details that align with our clients vision. Today we are sharing our favorite 4 white (ish) trim color options. Hues of white are a beautiful option for trim.
Our favorite paint is from Benjamin Moore, descriptions of paint pulled from their website.
- White Dove – “Unerring style defines this clean and classic white.”
- White Swan – “Warm, creamy tones give this understated neutral a welcoming quality.”
- Pure White – “Gray tones soften to this white, while a touch of blue lends a crisp edge.”
- Linen White – “Fresh and delicately shaded with a touch of cream, this timeless white is a go-to for creating warm, relaxed spaces.”
Even though we love a white trim moment, don’t be scared to experiment with color and contrast!
