With different colors and different materials, there are a lot of ways to enhance the exterior and interior window trim. Wood trim grounds the windows and makes the room seem bigger and taller.
It’s typically with stained or painted wood (with pine, maple and red oak being the popular choices). Simply cut some wood pieces, sandpaper it, and add a glossy finish.
It gives off an aged yet modern style and can work well for any room in your home. Keep unstained natural wood around the windows for a cabin-in-the-woods vibe. By having white trim, the light from the window gets reflected and makes the room seem brighter and bigger. White window trim also keeps it simple and feeling uncluttered.

White trims look great on any colored home to make the windows pop. Dark trim comes in various colors and creates a contrast with your house’s siding.
But it’s a great option for homes with bay windows or multiple colors on the outside (to coordinate with different layers on the trim).

These minimalist modern window trim ideas will make your home look put together and decorated while not being overbearing.

The idea of offsetting the window trim with color from the wall or exterior is a great way to give a space personality without needing a lot of expensive furniture in the process. Customize the traditional look by adding colorful shutters or window baskets of flowers.
If you’re lucky enough to have vaulted ceilings, use white window trim to create a focal point in the room – the architectural features. You can also try using different neutral colors and furnishings to add depth to the interior design of the window. Rustic window trim is a great way to give off a cottage or farmhouse feel.
