Need a little help getting started?
Adding moulding and trim to a home can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of a room, and is a relatively inexpensive way to increase your home’s appeal and value. There are many different styles and applications to choose from, and it can be daunting at first. Trim work in home design is a deep subject, with roots going back to ancient Greek architecture. To get you started, we’ve collected a few articles, sites, and books below. Of course, don’t hesitate to contact Homewright if you have any questions or need design guidance.
