How to Improve Your Interior Design Using a Skirting Board
|
|
With today’s styles generally being sparse and minimalist or simplified to contrast with strong, patterned wallpaper, it is frequently the tiny details, like skirting, that can make or break the design of a room. This shows they play a crucial role in being both functional and aesthetically pleasing. You don’t need to search for a long time to realize that there are more than over 100 skirting board designs in their profiles, from ultra-slim designs with sharp straight edges to those created to fit naturally into period homes with ornamental elements.
Skirting Board Types
Skirting boards come in various styles, affecting a room’s overall design. The most well-liked designs for skirting boards are:
- Chamfer: This design features a single angled edge that descends to a flat, straight face at the board’s bottom.
- Bullnose or pencil-round: The upper front of the board has a flat face and a straight, rounded edge.
- Ogee: A decorative profile with an angled edge that tapers into a more sweeping curve and a flat face at the board’s base.
- Torus: This profile has a spherical semi-circle at the top of the board. Some patterns will have an indent below the curve, while others will flatten out completely.
- Ovolo: At the top of the face, a gracefully curving arc tapers back toward the wall.
Ideas for Adding a Styled Finish to Your Interiors
- Skirts That Go with the House’s Period
If you live in a modern home, remember that taller skirting boards typically look best with higher ceilings. Period homes often benefit from decorative profiles like torus and ovolo. Here, painting the extremely deep skirting with the same khaki tone as the joinery and walls produces a striking result.
- Match Your Colors
Skirting board colour choices are frequently a reflection of your personality. There are no rules; however, the colors you select must be appropriate. People frequently believe that skirting boards should be white without realizing that, depending on your mood, skirting may create a subtle or powerful statement. Using colors contrasting with the rest of the room’s décor can bring attention to your skirting or create contrast. Alternatively, you can use a slightly different shade to provide a more gradual transition from the walls to the floor.
- Use What Suits Your Style the Best
It’s simple to lose focus on what feels right to you while searching for the “correct” textbook solution. Similar to most other elements in your interior design, skirting boards are there to make your time at home more comfortable. There are over 100 skirting board designs; therefore, don’t purchase something you dislike because it conforms to the standard. Prioritize your preferences.
Conclusion
Most people will notice if your skirting varies from room to room. Therefore, you should never underestimate how the eye is conditioned to follow precise detail. This is one way in which skirting styles and colors are highly dissimilar. When it comes to colors, you can use a variety of tints and styles from room to room as well as between the skirting and the walls, but not when it comes to the skirting itself. You must maintain consistency, or else your skirting will stand out more than any notable aspects you want to highlight. Perhaps more importantly, you will feel uneasy and restless in that space forever, knowing the styles don’t match.
The RCMP say a body that was recovered by authorities in Washington state is believed to be one of two kayakers reported missing off Vancouver Island on Saturday.
Const. Alex Bérubé said the identity of the body found on San Juan Island, just south of the border, is still to be confirmed by the coroner.
A search has been underway in the waters off Sidney, B.C., about 25 kilometres north of Victoria, since the two kayakers were reported missing.
RCMP previously said Daniel MacAlpine, 36, and Nicolas West, 26, went missing while kayaking from D’Arcy Island to View Beach on Saturday afternoon. They were in a teal blue, fibreglass, two-person kayak.
Police said members of the Central Saanich Police Department and Peninsula Emergency Measures Organization search and rescue were involved in the search, and the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre and Canadian Coast Guard were also assisting.

Prepare for multiple rounds of April snowfall this week, as Labrador braces for wintry conditions. This onslaught of snow is expected to blanket the region, potentially leading to hazardous travel conditions and disruptions throughout the week
As we march even deeper into the heart of the spring season, many parts of Canada are finding it tough to find any consistent signs of warming weather. Add to the mix periods of snow and wintry precipitation, and it’s safe to say the winter season is certainly not going out without a strong fight.
This week, parts of the East Coast will bear the brunt of the winter weather, with multiple rounds of April snowfall stacking up in Labrador. The chances for snow flurries will stick around all week long, bringing as much as 25 cm for some.
MUST SEE: Extreme pattern over Arctic produces 50+ degree temperature spread
Although 25+ cm of snow in April may seem extreme, for this part of the country, it’s definitely nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, the month as a whole brings about 40-50 cm of snow to Labrador on average.
Some communities, including Nain, even have snowfall chances stretch all the way into June!
“This week will be a little bit different however, as some regions could reach about half of Labrador’s monthly averages alone,” says Rachel Modestino, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. “The first round on Tuesday will pack quite the punch, with heavy snow and gusty winds stretching from Labrador city to the coast.”
Winds will be gusting between 70-90 km/h at times, and travel conditions will likely deteriorate quickly due to potential whiteouts and reduced visibility.
Witnesses described hearing a loud blast and seeing large plumes of black smoke on Tuesday morning as a building under construction in Halifax’s north end caught fire.
A message on Halifax’s alert system said the fire was at a building in the area of Robie and St Albans streets. About an hour later, the municipality said the fire was out.
The alert warned people who live on the peninsula to close their windows due to smoke from the fire possibly being toxic.
“Residents and businesses near the fire should still keep windows closed and air exchangers turned off until air quality conditions improve in the coming hours as a precaution,” the municipality said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Halifax Regional Police were asking people to avoid the area during what is normally a time of heavy morning traffic.
James Shaw lives nearby. He said he heard a blast around 8:20 a.m. local time.
“It shook the whole house,” Shaw said in an interview at the scene. “So I came outside … and saw this incredible building here on fire. Big black smoke. Lots of sparks and stuff going.”
Mike Clark was working on the building adjacent to the one that caught fire. He said he was on the 30th floor when the roof of the other building caught fire and propane tanks blew up.
He said construction crews were then evacuated from the building.
“The elevator was shut down and everyone went down the stairs and out the door,” he said. “Everybody on each floor has a horn to check if anybody was left in the building. Sounded the horn and walked down. It was very organized.”
