Although it is a subtle feature in most homes, the molding plays an important role in exemplifying the architectural style of your interior. The current condition of your home’s molding also influences the feel and overall look of your home. Scuffed or dirty trim has a way of making the room feel outdated. Dingey baseboards can turn the most beautifully, freshly painted walls into a visual mess. If you are looking to give the molding in your home a little update, a new coat of paint is both an effective and easy way to do so.

The Classic Approach

White baseboards and molding are simply always in style. Regardless of the color you choose for your walls, white molding will not only accentuate the color but it will look fresh and clean! For the classic look with a twist, consider off-white paint for your molding.

Pick Your Sheen

No matter what color you chose to paint your baseboard, they won't be able to stay beautiful very long without the proper sheen. In order to keep the baseboards, window casing and doors intact and in good shape, use high gloss or semi- gloss interior paint. This paint has enough sheen to keep the surface of the molding durable and intact.

Should You Repair or Replace?

No coat of fresh paint can fix the look of molding in need of total replacement. You should expect to find an occasional scuff and scratch on the trim and baseboards of your home, however poorly installed or damaged areas of your molding means it's time for a full replacement.
