Helpful Tips on Choosing Your Windows’ Interior Trim

Making a window look good indoors is just as important as making it look good when viewed from the curb. Unfortunately, there are so many window interior trim options that homeowners tend to get overwhelmed with the choices. We’d like to share a few tips on picking the best option for your windows.

Define Your Window’s Purpose

You can’t pick a good option if you don’t know what role your windows will play in your interior’s overall design. First, decide whether you want your windows to be the focus of your attention or if you want to put more emphasis on the furniture or other visual elements. From there, you can narrow down your list.

Pick the Profile

Window trims are available in different styles, but most can be classified as either high or low profile. A window contractor like us will suggest going for high-profile trims to make your windows stand out and low-profile options if you want them to subtly blend into the background.

Pick the Color

The trim’s color will allow you to “fine tune” your windows’ effect on the room. For example, strong or contrasting colors will help a high-profile trim window stand out even more. On the other hand, cool or low-contrast colors on the same profile will keep the window from being too overwhelming.

Don’t Forget Texture

The window trim’s texture is the final touch to your selection process, completing your windows’ expected appearance. Trim with wood texture moldings give the window a rustic or warm look, which is great for traditional visual themes, while sleek or matte textures give it a sophisticated, modern look perfect for contemporary interior designs.
