trim paint

Border finish work

Trim paint is paint formulated specifically for woodwork, moldings, doors, window frames, and other architectural details that contrast with wall surfaces.

Trim paint typically has a higher sheen—semigloss or gloss—than wall paint, making it more durable and easier to clean in high-touch areas: We used eggshell on the walls and trim paint on the baseboards.
