You may want to change the look of your home but not paint the walls. Contrast trim is a great way to change the look of a room in a unique way. Contrast trim is taking a different color to the trim around the room and even the door to create a different look in your space. Common colors for contrast trim are cream, gray, black, or a pop of color like blue or green.
Using cream or ivory paint for your trim against white walls can keep your home bright and neutral but add more character to the space. It can be hard to commit to a bright color but adding variation in the trim with cream paint can make a space feel more fun without adding any dark or bright shades to the walls.
There are many looks that can be created by using contrast trim but another color that adds dimension is gray. Light gray or greige paints can be used for contrast trim depending on the look you are going for. Choosing a color between a true gray or a greige may depend on the rest of the design and colors in your home. If you have a cooler toned home, a true gray may be the better choice for your space while a warm toned space would be better with the greige contrast trim option.
If you are looking for a strong contrast in your trim, black is a great color to choose for contrast trim. Black paint can have a similar effect of staying neutral with the color you choose like cream or ivory trim but provides a more eye-catching contrast against your walls.
Pops of color in trim is also a unique way to add color to your space. Having blue or green trim and doors in a room can add color in a minimal way to bring brightness to the space without being overwhelmed with color.
