wood trim

Baseboard or crown

Wood trim is the decorative or finishing woodwork around doors, windows, floors, and ceilings—the moldings, casings, and baseboards that cover joints and add visual polish to a room.

Trim conceals the gaps where different surfaces meet while providing architectural detail: The house had original wood trim throughout.

Also called woodwork or millwork.
