The Art of Trim: Why Baseboards, Crown Moulding & Wainscoting Matter

What does good trim achieve?

• Visual harmony: Well-selected moulding connects architectural elements, building a cohesive look. According to the site, the company “specialize[s] in baseboards, crown molding, wainscoting, door and window casings, and custom millwork”. kdtrimcarpentry.ca
• Value & character: Whether it’s a restored classic or a modern build, quality trim adds depth and craftsmanship.
• Protection + function: For example, wainscoting protects high-traffic wall areas, while door/window casings help cover transitions and give a finished look. kdtrimcarpentry.ca

Pro tips for homeowners

• Match style to architecture: A historic home might suit deep, ornate crown moulding; a sleek modern space may prefer minimalist profiles.
• Think proportion: Too small trim can look under-scaled; too big can overwhelm.
• Coordinate finishes: Whether painted white, stained wood or custom colour, the finish connects to the rest of your interior palette.
• Plan ahead: If you’re renovating or adding moulding, ideally coordinate with paint, flooring and doors to avoid conflicts later.
