Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
Bathroom trim plays a pivotal role in any custom design project, from creating a backsplash or shower niche to setting the mood with focal point lighting. There are various types of trims and tiles available for purchase, each with their own distinct purpose and aesthetic advantages.
When selecting bathroom trim, there are three main elements to take into account: material, profile or style and proportion. Generally speaking, use trim that complements your wall's aesthetic and is the right size for your space.
Wood is an ideal choice for bathroom trim, offering a timeless aesthetic. You can paint it to suit your aesthetic or stain it for added depth and character. Plus, wood doesn't swell when wet so you can paint it to match the rest of your bathroom without fear of warping or damage.
If you're not sure which bathroom trim type is ideal for your project, take a look at some examples before making a final choice. Doing this will allow you to know what looks best in your home and avoid buying something that looks out of place.

Contrast is essential in any room, and this can be achieved by altering your trim color. This could be done subtly or boldly depending on personal preference and chosen color palette.
For instance, if your bathroom features light walls, dark trim could create a more unified aesthetic. This can be achieved by painting the trim in a shade that complements the walls' color or adding decorative accents like beadboard or shiplap to the room.
Another option is to paint your bathroom trim in a neutral shade that complements the walls. This works especially well if your bathroom features soft shades or muted hues, since finding a neutral shade that complements both will be easier.
Black trim can be an excellent way to add visual interest and contrast in your bathroom, especially when combined with other shades that have similar tones. This timeless combination helps bring a contemporary flair to the space.
Dark trim combined with lighter paint colors like gray or white can help create balance in the room by providing a subtle contrast and creating dimension.
