most commonly matches the sides. looks like somebody put baseboards up there...

Why are you asking?

That looks like 'farmhouse' trim: 1x6 top and 1x4 sides

then 1x6 floor. Did you not specify what you wanted?

our architect specified it but now that I see it, I don't think I like what's there...that's why I'm asking for opinions

@Lynne Oh, OK. Do you have the option to change? If so, ask the architect for a different style that still fits your home.

I have seen the farmhouse style with additional 1x2s above and below the 1x6 to jazz it up....

let me find a pic...

I'm sure others will have ideas. Make sure you like the window trim as I imagine it will be similar to the door.

Best of luck.

What does the house look like?

What do the doors look like?

@Trish...Yes, I think that's the problem. That style looks better with a bit more detail than we were planning. we can still change it...that's why the contractor send photos. The house is transitional...classic outside, open main living floor and contemporary light fixtures. Doors are two panel shaker.

this is the exterior

If you want traditional S4S board trim that's the way it is usually done. The top is made larger to avoid it looking smaller when you look up at it. The ends overhang slightly to avoid a misalignment when the head trim shrinks.

Here are two examples that are typical but not as nice as yours.

i like it simple without the 1x2s personally. like yours and RES 3D not sure what the difference is.

Architect and pinterest.

@Trish, I think the main difference is that ours don't stick out past the side trim...it's square

Ours is the same style....

@Candace that's lovely!
