When it comes to commercial spaces, every detail matters.
From the doors to the hardware, each element plays a crucial role in creating a welcoming and professional environment.
One often-overlooked aspect that can make a significant impact is the use of trims and moldings. These subtle additions can elevate the look of your commercial doors and add a touch of sophistication to any space.
It’s why we launched our own specialist division of Select Door called Select Finishes.
Here are four ways to elevate space with the addition trims and moldings.
1. Baseboards
Baseboards are an essential part of any interior design scheme. Not only do they provide a finished look to the bottom of your walls, but they also protect them from damage. Installing baseboards around your space can help create a seamless transition between the door and the surrounding walls, giving the space a cohesive and polished appearance.
2. Door Casing
Door casing, also known as door trim, is the decorative molding that surrounds a door. It adds visual interest and helps frame the doorway, drawing attention to the door itself. Choose door casing that complements the style of your interior space, whether it’s traditional, modern, or somewhere in between.
3. Window Casing
If your area includes windows, don’t forget to consider window casing as well. Like door casing, window casings add architectural interest and frames the windows, enhancing their visual appeal.
Coordinate the style and finish of your window casing with your door casing and baseboard for a cohesive look throughout the space.
4. Hardware
The hardware you choose for your doors can make a big impact on their overall appearance. Opt for high-quality, stylish hardware that complements the trims and moldings you’ve selected. From door handles to hinges to locks, every component makes a difference. Just make sure to choose hardware that not only looks great but also functions well and provides security for your space.
Trim and Moldings 5 FAQs.
What are the four types of wood moldings and trim?
Crown molding, baseboards, casing, and chair rails. Each serves a distinct purpose in adding decorative accents and finishing touches to a room’s architecture.
What should you consider when choosing trim molding?
Consider factors like the style of your commercial or residential space, the size of the room, and personal preference. Look for trim that complements the architectural style, matches existing elements, and enhances the overall aesthetic while staying within budget.
What’s the difference between trim and molding?
Trim refers to any decorative or functional finishing element installed around openings, edges, or surfaces. Molding specifically refers to shaped strips of wood, plastic, or other materials used for decorative purposes, often installed around doors, windows, or ceilings.
How do I figure out how much molding I need?
To calculate the amount of molding needed, measure the linear footage of the walls or areas where you plan to install the molding. Add a little extra to account for waste and cuts. Alternatively, consult with a professional or use online calculators for more accurate estimations based on room dimensions.
What’s the difference between crown molding and trim?
They are both types of molding used in interior design, but they serve different purposes. Crown molding typically runs along the seam where walls meet the ceiling, adding a decorative transition. Trim encompasses various moldings installed around doors, windows, floors, and ceilings to provide a finished look and cover gaps.
