Incorporating white painted doors and trim is a great way to introduce contrast into a room. It really makes dark or vibrant paint colors pop against the clean crisp white. We are also seeing an increasing number of people use painted white trim against our various types of barnwood tongue and groove paneling. This is really a homerun in terms of executing that shabby chic look. Black painted trim against natural hardwood doors and flooring is also a trend that is on the rise.
Painted trim can be a great finishing touch to a room, as long as it is done correctly.
To really achieve a high-end look when using painted doors or trim, the key is to make sure the paint is sprayed on versus rolled or brushed. Spraying the paint will eliminate the brush strokes or roller marks that are visible even after the paint has dried. You are also more likely to get an even application of the coating, which will make the end-product nicer. Pigmented lacquers are also a great option and will give you a smooth durable finish that can stand up to just about anything.
Our machine applied coatings ensure the same amount of paint is applied to each part of each piece. This gives you an ultra smooth, high end finish without any visible roller marks or brush strokes. It also saves you the hassle of doing it yourself. If you’re anything like me, DIY projects always sound great, until you’ve gotten only about halfway through and used up an entire weekend. Not to mention your house is a mess because you’ve been so focused on the project at hand, everything else has gone to the wolves. The Tongue & Groove Store will custom paint your doors, trim and even T&G paneing the color of your choice. Stop in or give us a call for more information.
