Why everyone has white trim and colored walls?

Anonymous
I'm okay with black doors, but always prefer white trim. It's just crisp.

why do you care what most people do? do what you want in your house.

Looks like that guy is sitting in an asylum. Strangely one with a fireplace, but still an asylum.

Good, thick, tall moldings/trim in semi or high gloss + tasteful wall paper = timeless.

Ugh. 99.9% of the time, coloured trim looks tacky and dated. Trim should not be a vehicle for colour in a room - is should just be the finishing touch to give crisp edges.

Obviously there are exceptions, but I think only in an exceptional, unusual home could the look be pulled off.

Dust. Black trim shows dirt and dust. I like to think my cleaning ladies dust the baseboards every week but I'm a realist.

If my house had all those fabulous architectural details, I'd probably do something to make them pop too. None of those examples would work in my colonial, with pretty plain crown molding and regular height ceilings.

Some examples of colored trim.


Pictures like this are the perfect example of why normal people (i.e. non-designers) probably shouldn't be experimenting with colored trim.
