High skirting boards

High baseboards are very popular at the moment, but you must make sure that high skirting boards are in proportion to the total height of the wall. If not, the result will be too heavy and rather ostentatious.

How to create an elevated skirting board? Install your favorite regular skirting board, preferably a rather high one if you have higher ceilings. Then add a matching wall moulding on top. The more room you leave in between, the bigger the combined skirting will appear; but don't go higher than 1/5 of the wall. Paint everything in the same colour.

You can choose a skirting board and fit one or two panel moulding types above each other, slightly above the skirting board. Then you can paint the area of the skirting board up to and including the highest panel moulding in one colour to optically create one high skirting board.
