There’s more to window replacement than just choosing the best replacement units to match your home’s aesthetics. The addition of interior trim can bring out the best in them, especially if they have notable features that are worth showing off. It is indeed imperative to choose the trim that best suits your home interiors.
Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania, a trusted window contractor, shares a few tips for choosing interior trim to go with your new windows.
Consider Your Home’s Architectural Style
Your choice of interior trim for your windows depends on your home’s architecture. A simple trim will suffice for traditional home styles like Craftsman or Colonial. A thicker, more elaborate trim, meanwhile, best fits homes with a distinct aesthetic, like Queen Anne. Sleek, narrow interior trim is usually featured in modern and contemporary homes.
Choose a Complete Window Trim
To heighten the decorative appeal of your new windows, consider a complete window trim or casing. This type of molding surrounds all four sides of each window, and is usually designed with multiple layers of stacked molding. It is important, however, that the window trim itself matches the rest of the molding used in your home interiors.
Go for a Simpler, Low-Profile Trim
If you want a simpler and neater look for your windows, a low-profile trim would be worth considering. This type of trim lays flat against your interior walls, which helps provide a finished look for your windows. This, in turn, adds to the visual appeal of the rest of your home interiors. Apart from the trim’s aesthetics, it also serves an important function, and that is to prevent outdoor air from entering your home.
