Reese Witherspoon uses this paint technique to create a clever color contrast we can all replicate

Reese Witherspoon.

Should our paint trim match our walls, or should we experiment with varying hues? Reese Witherspoon has just made a case for the latter – and we'd be lying if we said we didn't want to achieve a similar effect. 

The actress created a monochromatic contrast with her trim, painted in a dark blue tone, and her off-white wall hue – a juxtaposition that adds instant interest to her space. Reese's color pairing is timeless, but we can create a similar impact with black and white (another monochromatic combination that will stand the test of time). Or, we can also experiment with more vibrant shades for a playful twist on the conventional.
