With Liberty's Siding Trim & Accessories
Details, details, details. And why they’re so important? Imagine a living room with only furniture – just a couch, a coffee table, some easy chairs and end tables.
That’s all. No rug on the floor, no pictures on the walls, no photographs on the tables, no plants near the window. No candles, knickknacks or floral arrangements to be seen. Not even a magazine on the coffee table. If you walked into such a room, your immediate impression would be, “Something’s missing!” And you’d be right. In fact, a lot of “things” are missing, things that transform a functional room into a beautiful, comfortable and pleasant home.
What’s missing, of course, are the decorative details – the accent objects people add to give a room interest, appeal and individuality. And what’s true for interior decoration is also true for exterior design – it’s the details, the added accents, that distinguish a home from those around it. Liberty’s Premium Vinyl Siding adds beauty, protection and value to a home. But it’s the details – the use of decorative trim and accessories – that add the lasting distinction.
So how do you add distinction?
All it takes is a little creativity. First, know your exterior design options. This page will help with that. Below, you’ll see idea after idea for using trim and accessories. The photographs are organized like a decorator’s scrapbook. Each section focuses on a specific exterior design feature – doors and windows, for example. Along with the photos are brief captions that highlight key design elements, plus list the products used.
Second, imagine how you can change the look of your home by using one or more of the ideas shown. Use an idea exactly as you see it. Or combine several ideas to create an exterior detail that’s distinctly you. And don’t worry – you can do it. The details that brighten your living room are all the proof you need.

Trim and Accessory Color Options
When choosing colors for decorative trim, the best place to start is with your primary siding color. Do you want siding and trim to match (or nearly so)? That’s called a monochromatic color scheme, and it’s a great way to create an impression of harmony and unity.
Or do you want to create a contrast, either a subtle contrast or a bold one? Using contrasting colors is an excellent way to emphasize details and framework. With your answer in mind, use the chart to choose a low-gloss, easy-care color for your trim options.
Selecting Window Trim
One of the first things people notice about a home’s exterior are the windows. In a sense, windows are like pictures or photographs on a wall – they create specific points of interest within an otherwise massive surface. These points of interest – the accents – are the basic building blocks of an exterior design. When the choice of window trim complements your siding, the result is a pleasing, unified exterior design.

Selecting Doors and Entryway Trim
Visitors see the trim around doors frequently and up close. That makes door trim one of the most important exterior design decisions you can make. And, in most cases, it’s more than a single decision. You may, for example, choose a more impressive trim to set off a main entrance, but prefer less dramatic treatments for secondary entrances. Consider different ideas for the trim around garage doors too. If you have a “premium” door – for instance, a door with raised panels or with decorative window inserts – you may want to consider a bold trim installation to “frame” the accents and maintain appropriate visual balance.
Finally, don’t forget trim for entry ways – the wall and ceiling areas that lead to your doors. The use of vertical siding, beaded soffit and accessories such as crown molding can give your home a custom designed look.
Adding Corners and Vertical Columns
Corners – especially outside corners – help define the proportions of a home. And because they define proportions, the creative use of corner treatments can influence the “apparent size” of your home (the visual impression it creates as opposed to its actual measurements). Bold corner treatments, for example, add lines of vertical emphasis to a wall, encouraging a viewer’s eyes to look up. It’s an excellent way to create a sense of height. Similarly, narrow corner treatments tend to accentuate a wall’s horizontal lines.
Color contrasts let you create subtle but striking details. White windows create contrast with the darker tones of the siding. Corners and window trim in a medium tone create another contrast. The overall impression is one of both contrast and harmony.
Selecting Trim Boards and Special Accents
Don’t overlook the use of simple lines as a means of adding distinction to an exterior design. Details such as rake boards (which help define the slope of a gable end wall) and band boards (typically used to set off different elevations of a home) are among the most striking design elements you can add.
