WHO: Pamela Ruiz
WHERE: Havana Salon, Cuba
If you’ve ever taken a walk through Old Havana, you know Cuba doesn’t shy away from color! Pamela’s Shabby Chic Havana salon embraces tropical pastel blue and pink. Its Spanish Colonial trim enhances the height of the already tall room. You can replicate this mix of grandeur and island charm in your own space by introducing panel mould, moulded panel doors, and playing with pastel accents in your trim.

WHO: Capucine Gougenheim-Geagea (a.k.a. Plume)
WHERE: Haussmann Apartment on Rue Saint Honoré, France
Capucine’s Paris apartment showcases the ornate and decorative style that originated with Georges-Eugène Haussmann. All about embracing contrast, this Parisian style mixes vintage furniture with luxurious gold accents, and rich colors with natural white walls. Trim to the nines, with painted white or gold moulding to give your space a decorated Parisian look.

WHO: Amanda Brooks
WHERE: Fairgreen Farm in Cotswolds, England
Amanda’s cozy English Country home embraces farm life with floral textiles and subdued colors inspired by Mother Nature. This laid-back living room creates a cozy, rustic atmosphere with the exposed natural wood floors, staircase, and ceiling. Mixing these rustic elements with colored trim and doors creates an old-fashioned country look.
WHO: Marília Ruschel | Ruschel Aquitetura
WHERE: Farm House, Brazil
In contrast to Amanda’s traditional country home, Marília creates a modern country villa in Brazil. While wood is similarly used on the floor, ceiling, and trim, the treatment is more refined and high-gloss. Light brown tones and ample natural lighting mixed with the minimalist furnishings give the villa an open and chic atmosphere.

WHO: Sarah Susanka
WHERE: Zen Bungalow, Muskoka Lakes
This installment of Sarah’s Not So Big project is inspired by the Japanese principles of zen. Natural light, simple lines, and earthy tones and textures all contribute to a peaceful and functional minimalist space. Opt for real wood trim like Douglas-fir, oak, or hemlock against a white interior to give your space a natural warmth while maintaining a clean, functional look.
Now, you should have enough inspiration to transform your home into a cultural, trim-filled hub—no passport needed. Want to see your space on our blog? Be sure to tag @officialmetrie to show us your love for interior finishings!
