Together with my experience designing heaps of residential or commercial interior spaces, I utilize baseboards for a basic function. As there are lots of kinds and types of baseboards, I would like to share with you my favorite baseboard moulding styles, based on the style and design of one’s space.
Baseboards works as below three functions :
- As a transitional piece between your floor and the walls
- Protect the wall from damage caused by scratches, high-heel shore knocking, furniture beating, etc
- As a decorative moulding
whenever deciding upon any molding, it is vital to look at the appearance and taste of your space. Not only in the case of the molding, you select to fit your taste, but it also needs to fit the type of your residence. This is the reason why I have categorized my favorite moldings by way of style
Modern or transitional: Rectangular Baseboard Moulding Styles
Typically it is about 2-1/2” to 5” high rectangular baseboard molding. Materials can be solid wood, MDF, HDPS, or Polyurethane. HDPS rectangular baseboard molding is on my priority list. This baseboard molding can be painted or provided with a faux wood grain finish in the factory and suits almost any space. That is why I love to use it for most interior spaces.
Rectangular Baseboard with a channel on the top area
With a “ channel “above, another option of rectangular base molding I frequently use for modern style is shown as an image. This kind of base molding supplies a new-looking rectangular baseboard. It is available in sizes from 3” to 8”.
Transitional or Traditional: Decorative baseboard Moulding Styles
I would like to suggest you use classic colonial baseboard molding for traditional styles of interior or as a transitional decorative piece. There is a decorative “ S “ shape profile on top which provides grace and attractive proportions. The “ s” decorative is not always the same, more revised or modified versions are available to the rich colonial baseboard family.
High Ceiling or Extraordinary people: 7” to 12” tall rectangular baseboard moulding styles
For some high ceilings in modern spaces, a taller baseboard with a regular rectangular shape will be a nice choice for adding elegance to your space. 9” and 12” HDPS material baseboards fit it well and all these HDPS baseboard moldings are pre-primed in the factory and also can be painted or have a stained faux wood grain color. Near 40 wood grain finishes definitely meet your needs.
Most people are happy to have a good card, someone wants to live largely. Most people like to trek in their neighborhood, someone however wants more adventure. Most people are content with the regular baseboard, someone wants to do something more. If you are not satisfied with the ordinary, try extra large high baseboard molding.
