Every interior enthusiast knows that the devil is truly in the details. Lucky for us, the details are arguably the easiest bits to switch up whenever you feel that revamp itch coming on. They may be minute in comparison to the visually larger elements but they make all the difference to a space. And one such detail that we find easy to makeover while also contributing a significant amount of charm is the trim.

If you're giving your home a DIY upgrade and wondering which finish works best for trim - wonder no more. We've got the inside scoop on what works best and we aren't one to gatekeep. Rumor has it that this finish perfectly complements any space and is the ultimate in-betweener for a balanced appeal.
