If you need a taste of the country, why not go with French Country? By adding trim around the right rooms, you can brighten things up for a whole new look. There’s a lot to enjoy with French Country trim, so maybe now is the time to consider giving your home a boost.
These trim designs are influenced even today by houses from the past that have become the present. French country houses are sometimes called French Provincials. Whatever you want to call it, the style is what is important and what has impacted the trim designs. The houses are typically symmetrical and square in shape. One interesting thing about French country houses is that the overall style can vary from a simple country house to a chateau-like estate. It sounds like a lot of variation, and it can be, but the general structure is the same. Exteriors may have hipped roofs and very tall windows on the second story. Inside, you are likely to find many arches and details made of stone and iron. The doors also echo the arched design and can be made in many ways to suit the house.
French Country trim goes great with a French country house, of course, but what if you don’t have a French country house? That’s fine. Take a look at some of the pictures or samples of trim a company provides to learn more about what the trim can look like. There are many different variations, from short to long, skinny to wide, elaborate to simpler. Take some time to see what’s available to you so you’ll be better informed about what can work within your home.
Some companies will even offer you samples. This can be very beneficial because it allows you to see firsthand what your room would look like with a particular trim design. You may be able to find the perfect molding for your room(s), or at least narrow your favorites down to just one or two.
Ask the company for more information if you still don’t know what you want for your home. They are the experts and will be able to give you insight into why one part might work compared to another part. When you finally find the right one, all your hard work will pay off.
