Which Skirting Board Category Is For You?

We often get asked which skirting board style we like or we would recommend, whilst of course we all have our own individual favourites we always put emphasis on it being down to personal preference. Before shopping for your skirting boards, you probably weren’t aware that there were so many different skirting board styles to choose from and the decision can sometimes be a hard one to make. If you are finding it difficult to find the best skirting board profile for your interior design style you should first start by trying to identify which skirting board profile category best resonates with your overall interior design style.

Skirting Board Profile Categories Explained

To try and help make your decision process a little easier we’ve put together a little guide explaining some of the different categories we group our skirting board profiles into to see if there are any that you instantly connect with.

1. Modern Skirting Boards

If you are currently renovating a space to make it feel a little more updated and contemporary, then our Modern Skirting Boards might be the perfect option for you. The skirting board profiles within this category all lean towards simplistic design and have very little detailing and intricacies.

They are also great if you want to give your skirting boards a bit of an update but don’t want them to be the main focal point of your décor. To compliment your minimal interior they will blend into the background leaving you to focus on the design features within your home that matter to you.

2. Traditional Skirting Boards

If modern really isn’t your thing and you prefer a home that is full of character and original features then our traditional skirting board category might in fact be the best one for you. You can expect to see many profiles that are intricate in their design, perfect if you want to add a real focal point to your interior.  

The skirting boards in this category are also perfect if you are renovating a particular style of property, we have designs that replicate skirting board profiles associated with Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties. If your tastes are a little more traditional then this category is the best place for you to start when trying to find the right profile for your home.

3. Exclusive Skirting Boards

If you are someone that likes their interior to be a little different to all of the homes you see on Instagram or Pinterest then you might in fact like some of the profiles from our Exclusive Skirting Board range. The profiles within this category are exclusive to Skirting 4 U and offer you the opportunity to have a design a little different to the standard styles so readily available.

If after looking through the skirting boards within this category you still want something a little more bespoke you could even consider our bespoke skirting board service. Through this we can create a skirting board profile to match one you may already have in your home that you love or with a scale drawing of the design you want. Both our exclusive and bespoke service are perfect if you want to invest a little into your skirting boards and go for something unique to you and your style.

4. Tall Skirting Boards

If you are currently renovating a property with more space to work with then you should consider our Tall Skirting Board range. Although all of our skirting boards go up to heights of 350mm our tall range is better suited to larger heights due to the profile section being considerably bigger than the ones you see on the standard skirting board profiles.

If you have a property with high ceilings, the tall skirting board range will help you get the proportions right within your space and achieve the look that best suits your property style. You can expect to see some exclusive profiles within this category that only come in larger heights or taller versions of period designs like Victorian and Edwardian.

Those are just a few of our skirting board categories. We also have ones suited more specifically to the skirting board profile itself such as plain, detailed and grooved opposed to interior design trends. By navigating your way through the different categories you should hopefully find the choice of which one to go for a little less tricky!
