We are considering replacing our baseboard and door moldings. The house is a brick front center entrance colonial with a rounded portico over the front door. It looks very nice. A bit of a timeless look in our opinion. But, it was built in the 80′s so all the moldings inside are the “speed” molding as it is called in the northeast. Slim, low and narrow. I am thinking of starting replacement myself one room at a time.

Choose moulding styles to coordinate with the style of your home. You may love deep crown moulding and a center medallion on the ceiling, but this would probably not work in a contemporary or ranch style home. A modern home should have plain mouldings with little detail. Traditional homes look wonderful with deep baseboards and wide casings.

This is a useful resource. I recently installed a very large skirting board in our promotional showroom to complement the existing architraves and the results are nothing short of splendid.

I agree with your premise that use one length of molding per wall section.Baseboards should be chosen to work in harmony with your casings to finish and tie the room together. Baseboards are usually thinner than the casing.

I definitely do prefer these taller profile ones, they give off more of a luxury feel I think will be perfect for my dining room. Thanks!

Interesting article about baseboard molding.I just want to add one more thing When baseboards are installed in rooms with hard surface flooring, a shoe molding is usually included. Rooms with carpeting often do not have shoe molding. The same cutting rules apply to the shoe molding when installed.

I agree, these wider set skirting boards ooze a bit of luxury. Need these in my home!

Just came across this post when looking up info on skirting boads – I’m currently redecorating my house and searching for different types. I definitely do prefer these taller profile ones, they give off more of a luxury feel I think will be perfect for my dining room. Thanks!
