Skirting boards may not be standout features in a room but they are important in terms of the overall styling. If you have carpet, tiles or wood laminate flooring, then solid oak skirting can compliment it, and you can finish it in any colour.

We’re recommend that you don’t paint these skirting boards though,  because there’s a great deal of elegance that comes with unfinished skirting boards, and you can actually take away the personality when you splat on coatings of paint.

Not many people are aware of the different styles available, but you can have details incorporated to your skirting boards, such as lines, patterns and curves. These are not usually well suited for bendy walls but they can work if you have a professional carpenter at your disposal. Any modern renovation can benefits form solid oak skirting so make sure you consider them the next time you decorate a room in your home.
