1. Discover Accent Wall Trim Ideas to Transform Your Home Interior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The accent wall is one of the key elements in popular contemporary home design. But designing an accent wall doesn\u2019t always mean painting one wall a different color<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying wall trim to one wall in a room is a great way to give your home\u2019s interior a professional, trend-forward look. There\u2019s no need to introduce a new color to the space. Instead, the accent wall is created with a three-dimensional pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accent wall molding can be extremely simple or incredibly complex. Neutral colors are best for this project, especially if you want your decorative wall trim to be the star of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Upgrade Your Bathroom with Elegant Wall Molding and Wainscoting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plain bathroom walls are boring. While decorative tiles are an option, you can also transform your bathroom design with subtle wall molding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wainscoting is the perfect complement to patterned wallpaper. Lining the bottom half of your bathroom walls with panel molding can help tone down your chosen paint color or wallpaper pattern. This is especially important in a small space like a bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also go big with floor-to-ceiling wall trim that adds dimension to your otherwise simple bathroom design. Go with a light, neutral-toned paint color that accents your wall trim pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Revitalize Your Space with Chic Board and Batten Wall Trim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Board and batten is a classic wall finishing technique that features alternating wide and narrow wood panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many types of molding, board and batten is a basic pattern that can be altered or combined with other wall trim ideas to suit your specific needs. This style of molding can be used in both exterior and interior projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Board and batten wall trim can be applied along the entire length of your walls or as a type of wainscoting. While the latter application allows for using a different color for the upper wall, board and batten is traditionally painted all one color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Beautify Your Fireplace Hearth with Stylish Wall Trim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do you finish a fireplace without the use of stone or brick? If your home decor leans toward the contemporary, then decorative molding might be the ideal solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall trim can be used to frame the fireplace opening itself. This finishing style is especially popular with modern fireplaces. But you can also use wall trim around a wood-burning hearth<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more dramatic look, you can install crown molding at the joint between your fireplace chimney and the room\u2019s ceiling. Or use wainscoting-inspired paneling to decorate your entire fireplace surround<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Create a Luxurious Look with Floor-to-Ceiling Wall Molding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tall ceilings are almost always considered a good thing in residential architecture. But leaving all of that vertical wall space completely blank can be a waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floor-to-ceiling molding adds texture and dimension to the entire wall without interfering with the bright, airy appearance of lofted ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you don\u2019t need to use the same trim option throughout. Feel free to combine different styles like chair rail trim and board and batten for a custom design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use floor-to-ceiling trim to create the illusion of a greater ceiling height. Thin, vertical molding is the best choice for this design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Modernize Your Home with Unique Angular Wall Trim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t often associate molding with modern home design. Yet there\u2019s really no easier way to add architectural lines to an existing room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern-inspired wall trim revolves around angular lines and geometric shapes. Some of the most stylish modern molding ideas are made up entirely of straight, uniform lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a sleek look, your trim should match the wall color behind it. Metallic trim contrasts beautifully against dark, neutral shades. Or you can adopt a Scandinavian-style aesthetic by mounting natural wood trim against a white wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Add Elegance to Walls with Picture Frame Molding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Picture frame molding is exactly what it sounds like: Wall trim applied in a square or rectangular shape reminiscent of a frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture frame molding comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You can apply this style of trim as wainscoting underneath a chair rail or extend the shape to reach from floor to ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of molding is almost always painted the same color as the backing wall \u2014 white trim may be applied over neutral paint colors. Be sure to hang wall-mounted elements like sconce lighting or artwork in the center<\/a> of these \u201cframes\u201d for a polished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Enhance Your Stairway with Decorative Wall Molding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to build a functional staircase without swaths of empty wall space. Decorative moulding is an excellent solution to this design woe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large picture frame moulding or shiplap panels are just a few great options. Don\u2019t get carried away with intricate carving or highly detailed trim patterns. Remember \u2014 your stairway wall trim will still need dusting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stairway trim isn\u2019t always about covering as much of the wall as possible. If the various floors of your home feature wainscoting or another type of molding, installing coordinating trim along your stairs may be necessary for a finished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Boost Your Home\u2019s Appeal with Functional Wainscoting Wall Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wainscoting once served as a protective covering for interior walls. Today, this molding style is almost exclusively used for its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wainscoting refers to any paneling that covers the bottom half of a wall. It can be made of decorative wood panels, shiplap, and even tile (commonly seen in bathrooms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from adding dimension and variety to your space, wainscoting also offers the chance to explore bold design choices without overwhelming the entire room. Neutral-colored wainscoting can be paired with maximalist wallpaper or vibrant paint colors for a more subdued result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
