dark trims inspiration?
Comments (9)(Answered you in Kitchens, but thought I'd post here as well): We have dark stained wood trim, doors, windows and beams. Contrasted with warm white (for the most part) walls. One bedroom, two baths, pantry, laundry and powder room are a soft green. Exercise room pale blue. Lots of windows. Lots of light. Even with deep verandas (front, back upper and lower). Floors are hardwood for the most part on the main level (light walls and some furniture help lighten). Extra large travertine tile throughout the lower level and real travertine flooring on the main (kitchen, laundry, pantry, powder, sunroom, baths). Dark trim and doors does not have to equal a dark home anymore than dark cabinets (which we also have in 3 baths, but wall paint and flooring choices contrast/equal it out). We chose dark trim since we were building a new "old" cottage home, are located in the woods and used natural products (stone, cedar, etc) as much as possible (aka budget would allow).

Comments (14)Thanks everyone for replying. hlove ~ Thanks for including those photos. Circus ~ I love the look of flared log posts and the open floorplan with a loft. I really dislike wooden cabinetry (looks dated too quickly). I also really don't like brown and beige and gravitate towards the cool watery colour tones (with wood for warmth). I would hardly describe my choices as "schizophrenic" (or any design choice for that matter-it is demeaning to people who suffer with that illness and who are probably already ostracized from general society). Zoe ~ Thanks for including those pictures. I'd love to see how your white trim will look. Marcolo ~ I guess modern rustic does describe what I'm going for? FWIW, we are not building a log cabin, it's a 6000 sq foot house framed with logs (so all of our walls are drywall)....See MoreMatching stained wood trim in RL inspired DR, HELP!

Comments (4)I know this sounds odd, but I would remove the final pointy ends from the posts on the bed, as on your first inspiration photo. To me it looks very odd. I would definitely do simple curtain panels reaching to the floor and also a rug to give some softness to this room with so much wood. Perhaps very light blue walls with a green and cream bedspread and cream curtains....See More

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoI used simple inside mount valances (on a spring tension rod) in my kitchen. Hidden behind the valance is a roller shade. Total cost was about $6 per window and 10 minutes time. (seeing this picture makes me realize I should totally clean all the junk off of my fridge!)
In my previous house with 'craftsman' colored woodwork, I had inside mount wood blinds custom made from JC Penney. Beautiful and reasonably priced and really added to the look.
In other rooms of my house I have simple panel curtains over the windows - right now our wood was bleached a sickly blonde color, and I'm in the process of restoring it to the same color as the kitchen, so I really don't care if the windows are mainly covered.
Another vintage look is inside mount tension rods with a simple semi-sheer panel. Mount this in the middle of the window to add privacy from the bottom down, and view from the top up. We had this for quite a bit in the kitchen above before I did the woodwork.
