Wood trim moulding is a versatile material that can be used to add style and sophistication to any room in your home. It comes in many different styles and price points, making it easy to adapt to any budget or design.

Here are 10 ways to use wood trim molding in your home:

1. Create an accent wall
2. Highlight your fireplace
3. Add crown moulding
4. Install baseboards
5. Accent a doorway
6. Create a built-in bookshelf
7. Frame your art
8. Create a faux coffered ceiling
9. Add decorative borders on your wall
10. Add decorative elements to furniture

1: Create an accent wall.

An accent wall is a great way to add personality to a room. You can use wood trim moulding to create a unique pattern on the wall, or to frame a piece of art or a built-in bookshelf.

The magic happens when you paint the trim and the surrounding wall the same color, which expands the impact of the thin moulding, making the whole wall part of the look.

2: Highlight your fireplace

If you have a fireplace in your home, wood trim moulding can be used to create a beautiful and functional surround, like the one Heart Filled Spaces created.

By varying the trim and moulding used, you can choose a simple design, or you can get creative and add decorative elements like corbels or pilasters.

3: Add crown moulding

Crown moulding can have the traditional curved profile, but you can also make it custom by using a combination of trims and crown moulding pieces to create your own look.

Combining inexpensive, smaller trim options with basic crown molding can add architecture and interest to an otherwise plain room, giving you a luxe, custom look for less.

4: Install baseboards

Baseboards are an essential part of any home's interior trim, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring. Sure, they help hide the gap between the wall and floor, but they can also add a touch of style to your space.

With some basic baseboard installation steps, and one of the many different styles of baseboards available, you can add trim that complements the overall decor of your room.

5: Accent a doorway

If you have a large doorway or opening between two living spaces, accenting the opening with wood trim can help give it character and create a visual separation. This transom framed entryway by Tiek Build Homes offers real style, as would arches, curved outer trim, or corbels.

6: Create a built-in bookshelf

The most basic bookshelves can be taken to a whole new level with the addition of wood trim moulding. Whether you start with pre-fab shelves or build custom ones like Plank and Pillow did, the addition of trim can hide gaps and add tons of style.

7: Frame your art

Wood trim moulding — especially leftovers from a DIY project — can make a great custom frame for a favorite art piece. With the easy steps outlined by Lamberts Lately, you can make a frame that suits your art and your room, whether it's simple, ornate, or somewhere in between.

8: Create a faux coffered ceiling

A coffered ceiling is a real statement, and adds depth and dimension to a room. It's not as hard as you think to DIY, either, as Amber Oliver shows you on the Home Depot Blog. Some strategically placed wood trim can look just like a real coffered ceiling, without the need for any major construction.

9: Add decorative borders on your wall

Wood trim moulding can be used to add decorative borders and "picture frame moulding" to your walls with minimal damage to the walls. This makes it a great renter-friendly wall treatment that's easy to remove and repair afterwards. It's a great way to add a touch of personality to your space without making major changes.

10: Add decorative elements to furniture

Walls aside, wood trim moulding can also add a real pop of style to your furniture. Apply it to otherwise plain dressers, cabinets, tables, or other furniture pieces to bring your own unique design style.

This technique works especially well for thrifted pieces of furniture that could use a fresh look, and the trim can even be strategically placed to cover up damaged areas or edges of the furniture.
