What color is better for skirting? Recommended skirting colors for different decoration styles

We all know that there are many things to pay attention to when decorating, especially the choice of materials, color matching, etc. Many people install skirting boards in their homes. There are many colors of skirting boards, and different colors of skirting boards will have different decorative effects. So what color is better for skirting boards? Let's take a closer look!

What color is good for skirting?

The skirting board is installed at the junction of the floor and the wall. It is used to hold down the floor, decorate the gap between the floor and the wall, and protect the bottom of the wall from moisture and dirt. The skirting board also has the function of shielding electrical wires to a certain extent.

1. Choice of skirting color

⑴ The skirting board should be the same color as the wall and floor

Choosing a skirting line with the same color as a larger area of the wall can effectively "lengthen" the wall and will not cause the wall to be visually "cut off"; choosing a skirting line with the same color as the floor will visually "expand" the floor area, making the space more stretched and more open.

⑶ Black and white skirting are more versatile

Narrow black skirtings make the space more refined and stable, and black is absolutely versatile because there is no color darker than black, so there is no need to worry about the "top-heavy" phenomenon. Black skirtings are high and tend to feel heavy, especially in small spaces, so they are not suitable for use.

The space created by white skirting is clean, neat, simple and bright, and can be matched with a variety of wall colors. However, if the wall is black or other darker colors, you must pay attention to the matching of the space, otherwise it will easily create a "top-heavy" visual sense of space.

⑵The baseboard should be the same color as the main color of the space

If the skirting boards are of the same color or even the same material as the main wooden furniture, wooden partitions, and doors in the space, the overall integrity of the space will be very good.

2. Choice of skirting material

The materials of skirting boards that we commonly use now are generally tile skirting boards, stone skirting boards, wooden skirting boards, and PVC skirting boards. Other materials are rarely used, so I won't explain them in detail. Stone or tile floors can be matched with any material of skirting boards, but wooden floors are best matched with wooden or PVC skirting boards or other skirting boards that need to be installed later.

Ceramic tile or stone floors and skirtings are within the scope of the tiler's work and belong to construction projects, while wooden floors, wooden skirtings, PVC skirtings or skirtings made of other materials that need to be installed later are installation projects. Construction projects come first and installation projects come later, so ① it is inconvenient for the tiler to wait until the wooden floor is installed before pasting the ceramic tile skirtings; ② pasting the ceramic tile skirtings after laying the floor may easily damage the floor.

③ Wooden skirtings or PVC skirtings are mainly installed on the wall, with loose contact with the floor, which can better meet the expansion and contraction requirements of wooden floors. Based on the above points, wooden floors are best paired with skirtings that need to be installed later.

Recommended baseboard colors for different decoration styles

Modern style

In modern style decoration, light-colored skirtings are used more frequently, such as white skirtings or skirtings of the same color as floor tiles. This style mainly reflects the modern and simple feeling of the overall space, so the matching doors are normally light-colored, which will not give people a feeling of being restricted like using dark colors.

New Chinese style

The new Chinese style mainly relies on the use of a combination of dark lines to express the charm of traditional culture, such as the symmetry of line combinations, and the skirting boards are normally matched with dark colors, such as black stainless steel skirting boards or stone skirting boards, or dark wood skirting boards, which echo the lines of the walls and ceilings.

American style

American style often chooses dark walnut-colored skirting boards that match the color of the floor, and matches them with room doors and furniture of the same color.

Simple European style

The simple European style is mainly white, with white room doors and white skirting boards, and white series furniture. The whole space gives people a feeling of elegance and connotation.
