Trimming is a decorating technique that can dramatically
change the look of your home, which adds character and a level of detail that other decorating techniques cannot match. You
can give a new look to your old home by adding trim and molding. You can hide gaps between walls and floors, around windows
and doors, and where walls meet ceilings. Distinctive trimwork, molding, colums, ceiling medallions, and
fireplace mantels add a richness and texture to the room that cannot be accomplished with paint, wallpaper, and furniture
alone. Trim comes in a wide range of profiles and sizes that can
enhance the look of doors, ceilings, floors, and walls. The architectural style of your home and your personal taste
will play large parts in selecting trim, but there are other considerations that should guide your decision. Above all, the
size and scale of the trim should be appropriate for the room. Large or elaborate ceiling molding, cornice, is not good for
low ceilings. Plain, slender type will disappear in a large room. The scale of a molding relates to its profile as well
as its size. We offer you some pictures of the rooms: with no crown molding and later with it. Look, how trimwork can
have an almost magical effect on the look and character of a home.
