I want a few rooms have white and other contexts have xylo.Pos molding I can do the transaction say the living room (wood) in a bedroom (white) Look Good? Thank you!
There should be a door between the two rooms. Use all white molding for the Base and Case in the bedroom and all oak in the living room. If the oak carries around the doorframe on the living room side, and the white carries around the door frame on the bedroom side it will look just fine.
usually theres a wall between the rooms? if so just use the different materials to trim the rooms. otherwise i usually use a transition block between the 2 materials. the block being about the size of the molding i usually just find a clear piece of pine and cut and sand it then install it at the end of the trim and butt the different trim to it.

Try to make the transition at a corner if you can. Either way you can get a transition piece that the wood and the painted moulding but to.
