How Can I Improve the Look of This Trim?
Asked by userXYZ83
I'm currently renovating my space and working with a contractor for the first time. We had a piece of glass for a transom window, and I told him that if the glass was too tall, he could adjust the opening size and we'd get new glass if needed. However, I wasn't specific enough about how this would affect the trim design at the top. While everyone I've asked thinks it looks fine, it's been bothering me a bit. I'm looking for suggestions on how to enhance the appearance of the trim, or do you think it looks good as is? Here's a link to the image for reference: https://imgur.com/a/lINpVmK

A good way to elevate the look is by creating a rectangle shape with half-round molding set in about an inch from the edge. Honestly, it looks pretty decent as it is, but that little tweak could add some more character to it.

What stands out to me is the lack of continuity in the trim pattern across the top. The header trim should definitely be cut at a 45-degree angle to match the side casings. Everything else looks really good. And that glass is a fantastic touch!
