Get Inspired

Though popular, white trim isn’t your only option. Consider going up or down on the paint swatch to choose a shade, or take inspiration from a wallpaper or fabric in the room. Here, striped wallpaper inspired for the blue-gray trim and ceiling color. The glossy finish reflects the light, making the space seem more open and airy.

Ceiling color: French Gray, 18
Available at Farrow & Ball
