• Casing - the bottom of this window frame is finished with a pediment rather than casing giving the lower edge interest
• Chair rail is a pleasing division between the two colors of the room. Chair rails give a room a traditional look, and can pull a room together
• Texture is used in the dark taupe color of the lower section of the wall, giving the room a contemporary feeling
