When choosing your trim and moulding, it helps to consider the type of material that suits your project best. MDF, or medium density fiberboard, is a cost-effective option that’s available in most styles. Wood offers durability and is available in a wide range of types to match your design aesthetic. PVC is a good choice for bathrooms and wet areas because it doesn’t absorb water.

Few things are as frustrating as realizing halfway through your renovation that you don’t have enough materials to finish the job. It’s better to buy more than you need and use it for another project. Doing so will save you the headache of an extra trip back to the store.

Generally, it’s ideal to choose pieces that are at least 16 feet long, as most rooms have a wall that are 16 feet or longer. For baseboards and ceiling mouldings in particular, it’s helpful to find the longest pieces you can.

Choose moulding and trim options that complement and enhance your home’s aesthetic style. Clean, straight lines work well for minimalist and modern styles, while curved and ornate profiles are more reflective of traditional styles.
