Hooray!!! You’re #floered with a new Floer – or at least it’s coming… Exciting! And of course, with a new Floer comes accessories and a matching finish so your interior looks perfect. Have you installed your Floer and coloured your wall? Then you may not know which colour skirting board goes with a coloured wall. We give you all the information you need about colour theories for your home so you can choose the perfect skirting board!
Why white skirting boards?
Most “standard” MDF skirting boards are primed white or wrapped in a white foil. And that’s for a reason! White skirting boards have a neutral look, yet they are timeless and fit any interior. A white skirting board gives a nice frame around your Floer and nicely eliminates any gaps at the edge of the floor area. White skirting board adds a fresh touch to your interior, especially when paired with a naturally toned laminate floor. White skirting board creates a seamless fit between your white doorframe and the rest of your frames. That way everything matches! In addition, white skirting board can offer a graceful contrast between your Floer and your tinted wall.
Why black skirting boards?
In addition to the standard white skirting boards, there are also black pre-painted MDF skirting boards. These skirting boards are available in different heights and thicknesses, allowing you to completely personalise your finish. And what can black skirting boards go with? In our opinion, black skirting boards go with everything! The dark colour creates a luxurious look when combined with a dark floor. But even with a light floor, such as a light Whalebone vinyl floor, a black skirting board will create a nice contrast That gives you a tougher look! Do you have black steel doors and frames? Then choose a black skirting board as well – the dark colour will run throughout your interior and make a cohesive whole.
Whether a high or low skirting board is more beautiful,
is entirely up to your personal taste!
Which is prettier? high or low skirting boards?
Whether a higher skirting board is more beautiful than a lower one; we get that question often! But we don’t pass judgment on that, as it is a principle of personal taste. Would you still like to hear a bit of skirting board theory from us to back up your choice? We have that for you!
So whether a high or low skirting board is more beautiful depends mainly on your taste. But the type of skirting board can affect the look of the room. Do you want to emphasise the floor area, and even make it optically larger? Then choose a high skirting board! As the skirting board rises in height, it optically lengthens the floor area-especially if you go for a high skirting board that has a co-colouring foil. In addition, high skirting boards protect a larger part of the wall, making it even more protected from dirt. And how high should this skirting board be? The rule of thumb is: the higher the ceiling, the higher the skirting board! Want to emphasise the colour of your wall, and make it look longer? Then choose a skirting board that completely matches the colour of your Floer! Skirting boards are also super easy to attach, because they are finished with an adhesive strip that allows them to be stuck to the Floer in no time.
What colour skirting board for colourful walls?
But what colour skirting board goes with a coloured wall? There is actually no definite answer to this, because all kinds of skirting boards go with a coloured wall. For example, dark skirting boards go well with both light oak and dark oak floors, and white skirting boards go well with both dark and light floors. Always try to create a contrast between the wall and the floor, and try to choose between highlighting the floor surface versus the wall. Already sure you want high wall skirting board, but don’t know what color? You can always paint a white skirting board the same color as the wall after the skirting boards are attached. That way they always match! In this case, do choose a high wall skirting board, and not an adhesive skirting board. This is handy because a high skirting board can also function as a cable channel to hide cords. Neat and tidy!
What colour skirting board matches my coloured wall?
Choosing the right colour skirting board for a coloured wall requires somewhat careful consideration. Do you go for a dramatic high wall skirting board in a darker shade? Or do you go for a subtle skirting board in the same colour as the Floer? The beauty of Floer’s skirting boards is that they can be supplied in the same colour as your laminate or Vinyl floors. So you always have a matching skirting board! Remember that the best choice depends mainly on your personal preference and the specific style of your interior. By paying attention to details like the skirting boards of your home, you can create a beautifully cohesive interior that you can be proud of!
