Your foundation is fundamental

When building a house, it is essential that you have a solid foundation. Without one, any subsequent attempt to build will be in vain.

The same is true for decorating and furnishing rooms – beautiful home décor is often achieved with attention paid to the smallest details. Those that are easy to overlook, but compound to create a gorgeous canvas for your self-expression.

Let’s start at the bottom – Skirting Boards. An oft overlooked feature in rooms, skirting boards are present in practically every room despite them being generally plain and grubby. Something that many forget to clean, and that you have potentially never considered replacing.

However, this should be of the upmost importance for all home renovation projects, a new set of skirting boards to replace the plain and yellowing set that has been present since moving in.

Having a fresh, pristine set of new Skirting Boards is a fantastic option to bring an aging room back to the modern era, acting as a border and offering much more customisation than you may think.

Consider a tall skirting board to create a grandiose effect, well suited to media walls. A taller skirting can break up an otherwise plain wall, adding a sense of depth. Different Skirting styles will work with different interior stylings – consider a Stepped style for a contemporary interior, a very effective way to add subtle detailing whilst maintaining the modern theme.

Victorian and period homes often have tall ceilings when compared to newer builds. This is the perfect scenario to take advantage of this space with a tall skirting board! Fill that space with intricate detailing, without taking away from the traditional atmosphere in your home. As a bonus, traditionally styled interiors are often host to gorgeous details, textures and depth – as such, this opens up the range of suitable skirting styles! Whether you’d prefer to make a statement or keep things understated, the choice is truly yours with traditional interiors.

Conversely, short skirting boards can offer a great concentration of details for smaller spaces and shorter walls. These skirting boards are useful for elongating walls, and making otherwise cramped environments feel more open and welcoming. Similarly, those seeking a sharp and minimal appeal may decide that subtlety is key. A short skirting board can deliver this, whilst still bringing a useful sense of depth and invaluable protection to your walls.
