While skirting board is mostly functional, covering the space between the wall and the floor, it can have a big effect on the look and feel of your space. Here are a few of the options available, and what they can add to your space.
Wooden skirting is a easy to find option that adds warmth to a space, and works best with lighter colors. For a more sophisticated look you can find some ornamentally carved wooden skirting to really enrich the room.
If you are using tiles, a popular skirting option can be made using other contrasting tiles. This creates a separation between the walls and the floor. Some tiles are even offered specifically for skirting, with rounded edges to blend into your wall. Whatever contrasting colors you choose, just make sure the skirting is always darker than the floor tiles you use for a complimentary contrast.
Another popular option for modern homes is stainless steel skirting. This metal skirting creates either a striking contrast, or can blend into modern spaces where other metal finishes are used.
