Trim?

13 years ago

I am building a new house. I like white trim but not white doors. I have young kids and feel they will be dirty all the time. What is popular for trim now?

White with white doors. Just kidding. I just finished a remodel that has all white molding but the actual doors were stained dark and it looked really great. Will also hide scuffs etc...

Your question is confusing… you like white trim, not doors, but you are asking what is popular for trim? You said you want white trim ??????

I'll take a stab at this and tell you to use Muralo paint. Washes well.

I have white trim and stained doors. I think it adds charm and character.
