        "text": "While often used interchangeably, 'trim' is a broader term encompassing all types of millwork used to finish a space, such as baseboards, door casings, and window casings. 'Molding' is a specific type of trim characterized by its decorative profile or shape. All molding is trim, but not all trim is molding. Molding is typically used for aesthetic enhancement, adding architectural detail and visual interest, like crown molding or chair rails. Trim serves both functional purposes, covering gaps, and aesthetic ones, framing openings or walls.",
