What Are Skirting and Architraves?
Skirting boards (also known as baseboards) and architraves are essential elements in interior design that serve both decorative and functional purposes:
- Skirting Boards: Installed at the junction where walls meet the floor, skirting boards cover the gap between the two, protecting walls from damage caused by foot traffic, furniture, and cleaning tools. They also hide any uneven or rough edges along the bottom of the wall. Skirting boards come in various styles, from simple, modern designs to more intricate, traditional profiles, allowing you to choose a look that complements your home’s interior.
- Architraves: These are the mouldings that frame doors and windows, providing a neat transition between the walls and door frames. Architraves not only enhance the architectural details of a room but also help cover any gaps between the wall and the frame, creating a clean, seamless finish. Like skirting boards, architraves come in a range of designs, from minimalistic to more ornate, adding a decorative element to doorways and windows.
Benefits of Installing Skirting and Architraves
Installing skirting boards and architraves offers several benefits that improve both the look and functionality of your home:
1. Protects Walls and Door Frames
Skirting boards protect the lower portion of your walls from scuffs, dents, and damage caused by vacuum cleaners, shoes, and furniture. Similarly, architraves safeguard the edges of door frames from daily wear and tear, reducing the likelihood of chips or cracks.
2. Enhances Aesthetic Appeal
Skirting and architraves add a polished, finished look to your home’s interior. They provide a visual boundary between walls and floors or door frames, contributing to the overall design and style of each room. Whether you’re aiming for a contemporary, minimalist look or a classic, decorative feel, skirting boards and architraves help tie the design elements of your space together.
3. Covers Unsightly Gaps
Skirting boards and architraves effectively hide any imperfections where the walls meet the floor or door frames, such as uneven surfaces, gaps, or rough edges. This creates a seamless and professional finish throughout your home.
4. Increases Property Value
The addition of high-quality skirting and architraves can significantly enhance the visual appeal and perceived value of your property. Potential buyers or renters are often drawn to homes with well-finished details, and these simple yet impactful installations can make a lasting impression.
5. Complements Interior Design
With a variety of profiles, heights, and materials available, skirting boards and architraves can be customised to complement your home’s unique style. From sleek, modern designs to ornate, traditional mouldings, these features provide an opportunity to add character and personality to your space.
