Affordable way to update your home!

Baseboards can be found in every house, apartment or condo. A baseboard runs along the length of a wall next to the floor to conceal carpet, hardwood or other flooring gaps or imperfections. Another practical purpose of baseboards serves as protection against vacuum cleaners, mops sloshing against walls and furniture scraps or bumps causing damages to the walls.

Choosing Baseboards to Match Your Decor

In the past baseboards were often three-piece affairs consisting of a flat plank, a decorative cap moulding, and a rounded shoe molding to cover gaps along the floor. About 40-50 years ago, with new technologies and manufacturing processes in place, the baseboard became a one piece with variety of designs and options. Original standard sizes were usually somewhere in between 2 to 4 inches. In our current modern times fancy gave way to cheap, and the vital floor-to-wall transition became the domain of thin, featureless one-piece trim. Today baseboards and trim in general are bigger and wider to accommodate higher ceilings and larger living spaces. Original tiny baseboards are being replaced with the new 5” to 7” baseboards to make a more dramatic effect on overall interior look. Typically baseboard height is chosen based on the height of the ceiling and overall size of the room. Larger baseboards are used in larger rooms with taller ceilings - usually 5 to 6 inch baseboards on 8-foot ceiling and baseboards over 6 inches for rooms with ceiling height of 9 feet or higher. Most of base mouldings have a plain design and usually matched with other trims like casings and wainscoting. The base moulding generally is slightly thinner than the casing, to allow for a better finished look. Baseboards do not have to match the crown moulding, because crown moulding is an accent piece and can be different in style.

If your baseboards are in fairly good shape and you don’t want to pull them out, there is an option of adding a small thin piece of decorative moulding to the top, creating Custom Baseboards of your own. This upgrade is a really easy and inexpensive way to get the nicer look of the taller baseboards that don’t come in the standard house.
