Whilst walls and architectural details have been at the epicenter of color trends, woodwork has largely remained ‘au natural’. Traditionally left natural or painted white, woodwork, like your doors and window frame, has never had much attention when it comes to color. Until now, when we are noticing every stylish new project adds a pop of color using the woodwork. It's like the new feature wall, but far more subtle and stylish.
The contrast this color trend creates is similar to that of what a feature wall aimed to do, just in a smaller dose and less... dated. 'I certainly think colorful millwork is having a real heyday right now,' says Claire Staszak, Interior Designer at Centered By Design. 'Whether it's contrasting trim colors, or painting built-ins or fully paneled rooms, designers prefer the cohesion these techniques offer beyond an accent wall.'
