What's the Best Trim to Use for Shaker Door Edges?
Asked by CreativeCraftsman42
Hi there! I just wrapped up a basement theater project where I built all the cabinets and doors myself. This was my first time making shaker doors, and I noticed that the fit of the inside panel to the frame isn't quite right. I'm wondering if there's a ready-made trim option that I can use to tidy up those edges, or if I need to make my own cuts. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You might want to consider using a simple quarter round or casing trim. These options can significantly improve the look without needing to do much extra work. Just measure the edges and cut accordingly. If you find a premade trim that fits nicely, go for it! It really can make a difference.

CraftyGal99: Good idea! I've used quarter round on similar projects, and it really helped pull everything together. Just make sure to match the finish with your doors!
