I think the white trim gives it a much more contemporary look. It's more work to have it done in a different color, but the overall look is cleaner.

Because it's a slider that opens on the left, you should have window treatments that pull open to the right. If you choose curtains that aren't thick or bulky and position the rod so when they're fully opened, they stop just inside of edge of the trim, that should give you a couple inches of space between the trim and the drawers.

Thanks so much for this post sheilapillai . I didn't think of that when considering adding sliding doors in living room. Didn't do that yet, hence is why i thank you. This is a tricky question. On one hand i want sliding glass doors to accept as much natural light as possible (solar heat), but not too big as too lose our furnace heat after the Sun sets

I think a different look between the two rooms would be a conversation starter! Try not to be nervous if you can.
