Find the Perfect Sheen
Primer is to paint, what sheen is to molding! In order to have the home you want, picking the most practical products are important. The perfect sheen for your baseboards, trim and molding depends on the traffic coming in and out of your home. Semi and high gloss sheens are considered to be more durable and easy to maintain. Consider a high gloss sheen for your baseboards and molding to keep your interior safe from the wear and tear of life.
Radiant and White
If you consider your personal style to be classic and clean, white molding and baseboards are the perfect choice for your updated interior. Off-white or even eggshell baseboards and molding are versatile and complement whatever color you choose for your walls.
The Two R’s
