Baseboards and Casings with Shaker Style Interior doors

8 years ago

We in the midst of a total gut of the house. I really don't like traditional door styles, especially the six panel kind, so we've decided to use either 3 panel or 4 panel shaker style white doors (like shown in below link). Keeping in mind that our style is on the modern edge of transitional, and we have 8' ceilings, what baseboards and casings would you use?

Thanks!

I have craftsman style doors and I used simple 11/16" X 3 1/2" MDF boards for all my trim. Then I back banded the doors and windows. It is simple and I like it.

It was once common to vary trim by room. Public rooms received larger/fancier, while more private rooms would have smaller/simpler. Also common to vary between floors. Lower floor (public) had the upgrade, upper floors did not. 8', 9' walls? The crown sounds small. What material is the trim? Stain grade, or paint grade wood, or a man made material like MDF? Could you share the upcharge for the larger trim package? The install price should not change much. Installing new trim is not difficult given the correct tools and a bit of practice.

We have been using a lot of simple square stock in some of our contemporary designs (through our other company - Edmond Kitchen & Bath LLC). Here's some stained knotty alder - square - with a contemporary barn door we recently finished:

We are doing the same thing, installing 3 panel solid shaker doors, but have 3.5 inch trim around a lot of our existing windows that has more detail. Would it be best to match that trim for consistency on the doors or can you mix trims and go more flat and simple on doors? We plan on installing new 5.25 high baseboard that is plain except for one detail at the top.
