Trend Spotting: Painted Trim

Blue Painted Trim

I’ve always been a white trim kind of girl.

Lately that’s meant white walls with white trim, creating a bright monochromatic space.  If you read my post on Monday, you know I’m opening up to more color on my walls and that includes the trim.

For a while now, I’ve noticed much more painted trim in my Pinterest feed and in the design world.

I love the white wall, painted trim look and you may see that show up somewhere in the new place.

But I especially love the monochromatic wall look.

I’m loving colored walls, colored trim, and colored windows.

With dark colors, it creates such a moody and saturated space.

I love this space where even the bookshelves and fireplace are painted navy.

I love how white accessories and textures pop off of the dark monochromatic walls.

And I love it done with lighter/brighter colors too.

I’m willing to bet that white walls will always be a part of my design plans, but some colored walls and painted trim will be making its way into this next design too.

And speaking of the next project, we have a lead on a potential house!  It sounds promising, but no guarantees yet.  Fingers crossed!

Oh man Lindsay, I love every last one of these pictures! I first spotted painted trim on this BBC show about a doctor a year or so ago, and his on-set office was very much like these photos- walls, doors, trim, moulding, fireplace, you name it, all the same color. LOVE. I ended up trying it in my son’s room and it looks soooo good. I can’t wait to see how it turns out in your place! Oh, and the white walls/ painted trim picture with the black trim…never seen that before and um, yeah, I need that right. now!!! 🙂

If I could pay someone to paint my trim, I would abso-freakin-lutely paint them that dark swanky black color. But I hate painting and have little time to paint. But it certainly won’t stop me from fantasizing!
