Window trim can be thought of as a form of molding. Trim that compliments preexisting moulding, baseboards, wall panels, ceiling medallions, and other accents, creates a harmonious design.

Window trim is commonly made of wood, though stone types, like marble and granite, for example, are also a popular choice. Oak and pine are common species of wood used to create door and window trim. Vinyl and popular composite materials that mimic the look and feel of wood are durable, easy to maintain, and they avoid the warping and swelling that wood can endure under physical stress and humid conditions.

Basic and traditional window trim consists of: side casings, a top casing that is often more elaborate and ornamental, and top and bottom corner blocks known as corner and base blocks. In form, most window and door trim styles require the use of simple miter and butt joints.

Doors and window trim styles are many, as structures can be trimmed in countless different ways, echoing all architectural styles. The inclusion of architectural elements like arches, classical columns, and protruding window sills, can be used to compose the trim of a window or door. Victorian trim is among the most common.
