Top Trim Paint Tips For Texans
While it’s possible to hire professional painters to get a job done right, some homeowners are interested in trying their hand at painting for themselves. Start your project right by investing in good quality paint (don’t go for a quick-dry option) and choose the right type of paint for your project. For instance, semi-gloss and high gloss make the details shine, self-leveling enamel smoothest itself out as it settles and satin won’t reflect light.
The step that arguably takes up the most time is prepping for paint. Before you start, clean the surface and lay out a dust cloth. Invest in quality tools – whether you need brushes, rollers or sanding sponges. Take the time to caulk gaps and cracks along trim and molding before taping off the edges. Then use a flexible putty knife at a 45-degree angle to score the top of the tape and leave a sharp clean line once the paint is dry.
Picking The Best Paint Color For Trim And Molding
When it comes to colors, there’s no right or wrong. Everyone has different tastes and ideas about what their space should look like. Here are a few guidelines to help get you started.
Dark Colors – Dark trim and molding draw the eye to the doors and windows, creating a bold effect. Dark molding is a smart, striking option for rooms with high ceilings.
Light Colors – White, off-white, eggshell and cream all lend themselves to a classic look for trim or molding. Contrasting a dark wall with light trim can make a space feel sophisticated or dramatic – think a jewel-toned stairwell with white trim.
Matching Colors – Painting your walls and trim the same color is a timeless approach to interior design. If this is the route you want to take, opt for painting the trim one sheen higher to reflect more light.
With so many color combinations and options on the market, it can be overwhelming. If the idea of painting by yourself has become too much to handle, reach out to our team. Our painters are here for you, ready to transform your space. Contact us to schedule your appointment today!
