Painting wooden baseboard with a foam trim roller in a workshop.
Painting interior molding requires just two tools: a foam trim roller and a paintbrush.

Here are two tips for painting interior trim such as baseboards, chair rail, crown molding, and window and door casings. First, use a foam trim roller to apply a liberal coat of paint to the piece of trim. Then use a paintbrush to immediately smooth out the paint and cover any areas missed by the roller.
