That’s a good question. I’ll be interested to see your replies. In my 2015 remodel I went with white baseboards and white paneled wood interior doors. I have always found the stain wood to look more 1960s retro looking.

Yes

White baseboards are good for cottage look or farmhouse. My daughter's husband just painted their woodwork white and it looks so fresh, bright, and clean! I have it, too, so I say "do it"!
Yes, it is still a current trend. Many new home builds have white trim. But I always go with what I love rather than what is in style. Then I'm happy with the appearance.
Thank you, Kathy. so do I. I wouldn't just go with something that is in style, I have to love it first. Especially when I have to do all the work myself.
