When you choose moldings, you are free to decide what you want. Still, there are some small things to consider before making the choice.
For some, moldings do not matter, but for others it’s their own frame of their work. The first to consider is whether you want the moldings to be a part of the wall or the floor. In the past, people often chose white moldings, but in recent times it has become trendier to get the same color on walls and moldings. This can help to create a more comprehensive profile in the room.
White moldings
Moldings can both highlight and hide the transition from frame to wall or floor. Many chose moldings to frame and create distinctive features. Around doors, many would like to use moldings to emphasize. White moldings around doors, with stained walls accentuate the door, creating contrast from the dark stained walls. What you should think about when choosing white moldings on a dark wall, is that the moldings suddenly can look very thin. Then it can look better with a slightly wider and profiled list, which creates and nice contrast from the dark walls, as in the picture below.

Tone-in-tone moldings
A great way to use moldings is to choose the same color for the moldings and finishes as the rest of the room. It will in many ways create a more whole expression. At the same time staining or painted moldings may be easier to keep clean. If you choose a simple molding without a profile, it will be easier to be a part of the room, rather than the lists attracting attention. Painted moldings in the same color can give a quieter expression, at the same time emphasizing the view even more. To let the moldings follow the color of the walls will gladly lift the wall slightly, giving a feeling of a larger and taller room.

Painted moldings
Often, the darker, painted moldings will bring nature more into the room. Painting the moldings in a different color than the rest of the room can give a feeling of warmth. When choosing painted moldings, it`s important to make sure the color match the wall, and not feel like the moldings divide the room. Painted moldings can help you see the colors and details of the moldings and the panel better. Doors and moldings of the same color in combination with stained wall will add a special touch to the room.
