“If you want to kick it up a notch, lime wash them all the same colour.
“You're welcome in advance.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @lorenkreiss, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed a staggering 236,200 views.
But social media users were left totally divided at Loren’s clip – while some were on the same page as the expert, not everyone was on board.
One person said: “I love this and think that your right!!”
Another added: “This is very true. Cheaper houses are more likely to have different colour ceilings and trim than luxury properties. For one thing, better for art.”
A third commented: “Finally the advice I wanted to hear! Yes! I hate contrast trim!”
However, not everyone agreed with Loren and many took to the comments to share their thoughts.
One user wrote: “As an interior designer. This works for houses over 2000 sa ft. Anything smaller and it doesn’t look as classy.”
To this, Loren replied: “I don’t agree.”
A second penned: “Totally DISAGREE.”
Whilst someone else claimed: “I strongly disagree. I’m lovin’ my Swiss coffee walls with white trims. It's a great contrast.”
