Enhancing the interior of your home or giving it a fresh new look can be as simple as applying white paint to the right places. Using white trims throughout your home is one of the easiest ways to change your homes appearance. Alair Homes recommends that you consider the following tips when you are refreshing the interior or exterior of your home.
Make Rooms Look Bigger
If you would like a room to appear larger, especially if you have selected a deep color for the walls, add larger wood trim to the baseboards, windows and doors, and paint them pure white. The larger trim size and the white color will give an optical illusion that the room is much larger.
Enhance Ornate Trims
If you have beautiful wood trims in your home, enhance their beauty by painting them white. This can add flavor to any area, especially if the trim is in a naturally dark area. Archways, ceiling trim, and even accent pieces will be brought to life when painted in a bright white.
Go All White
For a change of pace, paint everything in the room white. White baseboards, walls and ceilings add a sense of serenity to an area. This may sound a little bland, but it gives you the opportunity to “spice up” the room with splashes of color throughout using your choices in art and décor.
Soften Stronger Architectural Elements
Coffered ceilings with their distinct grid patterns can overwhelm the appearance of a room. By painting the gird part white and the recessed areas a different color to match your walls, you will brighten the area, give it a larger appearance, and soften the effects of such a prominent architectural piece in a room.
Enhance Interior Transom Windows
If your home has transom windows, they add a lot of light and texture to your rooms. However, they can also create an “eye stop” when a person looks in a room. Try painting these windows with a very soft white color to enhance their beauty. The soft white color will allow them to blend into the interior rooms better while remaining a prominent feature.
Make Your Bathroom More Glamorous
Bathrooms are often overlooked when enhancements are made around the home. Bathrooms are seen as utility areas and not rooms. However, since you spend a lot of time each day in these rooms, it only makes sense that it should look its best. Beautiful wood trims around the baseboards and mirrors can be enhanced with bright white paint, giving them a very glamorous appearance.
Give The Exterior Of Your Home A Historic Flare
White trim around the exterior of your home and your porch areas will give your home a little bit of historic flare and will brighten any area. Make sure that you use a paint designed for exterior use so that the white retains its bright color.
