My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

SW Alabaster walls w/ white windows. What trim color? HELP!

8 years ago

Hey all! Hoping someone can help me out here. I chose to paint the walls in our new build SW Alabaster white. We have white windows. What color for the trim around the windows. Or should I carry the AW onto the trim and chance it clashing with the white windows? Painting the window sashes is out of the question. Thanks

    You could try matching whatever the white is on the windows. Do you know the window manufacturer? They might be able to tell you what paint color they use.
