The 2023 trends for your home's interior woodwork may surprise you! In recent years, modern interior design has become very popular, with a trend towards a minimalist style. 

However, we are starting to see traditional elements introduced into modern decor. The marriage of the two styles offers an ideal combination of modern and traditional interior design. The choice of interior woodwork can contribute to this marriage of styles.

Interior door moldings are also particularly popular this year. Interior door moldings are both functional and decorative, enhancing the look of the door while hiding the transition between the wall and the door frame. 

The trend for more traditional woodwork also applies to your door moldings. Want to know more about this trend? Through this article, we will show you how traditional elements are now being integrated into modern interiors.

Modern and traditional woodwork

Traditional woodwork in the home often has more detail, grooves and design elements than modern elements. Modern woodwork, on the other hand, is very clean, with little detail to create a simple and elegant look.

One of our most popular traditional style moldings is the Colonial baseboard. The details of the molding are very noticeable. It is even possible to give a "custom" look to our moldings by playing with the quarter round arrangement.

The column wraps also add unique design elements, creating a beautiful display of traditional woodwork. The amount of millwork details present in this one photo is remarkable and makes it an excellent example of traditional woodwork.  These details are characteristic of this traditional style.

When we talk about modern woodwork, we think of our Urban baseboard model. As its name suggests, this baseboard has an urban style with its minimalist and clean edge. 

Several of our other models are also considered modern woodwork. For example, the Oblik baseboard is a baseboard model that also creates a clean look.

Its base shoe molding adds dimension to the profile. Again, by playing with the quarter round assortments, we can create a baseboard that reflects our personal tastes.

In today's trends, the happy mix of these two styles is becoming more and more common. We see that modern interiors incorporate traditional elements in various ways. In particular, interior design professionals are using a combination of modern furniture and more classic woodwork.

This touch of more traditional elements can also be diffused into other architectural elements, such as staircases.

Mix and match styles have become a popular trend that has only grown over the years. There is no need to stick to one color, one pattern and one style. Incorporating multiple patterns and features has become an effective and stylish way to personalize your space.

Interior door trim

With the popularity of minimalist and sleek decors, interior door trim had been put on the back burner. However, recently, we have seen a resurgence in the use of interior door trim. Adding wood trim to your door frame gives a rich and contemporary look.

Contemporary door cladding is still very common. It is a simple, minimalist choice that is installed in many homes, especially in newly built homes. It's a perfect casing style if you're looking to stay modern and complement the minimalist design style of your home.

However, we are seeing a pronounced infatuation with backbands. The backband is the woodwork around a window, door or doorway. It is installed by a trimmer after the casing is installed. The backband is, as the name implies, at the back of the trim, connected to the farthest part of the window or doorway.

It is an additional interior finishing element that is not a necessity, but really enhances the look and effect of the woodwork.

For interior door trim, it is also a trend to add a transom. Transoms are often seen and recognized on front doors as the glass panels placed above the front door or on either side of the front door. 

Adding a transom to your interior doors adds an extra design touch, while allowing light to flow from one room to another.

Some people opt for a filled in transom, some opt for a glass transom, and some opt for a glass pattern on their interior door transom. The transom can be installed above the door or on the right or left side of the interior door.
