Picking The Right Skirting Boards To Suit Your Home AD

When I look around my home my attention is often drawn to the skirting boards. You may well ask why? Well, it’s great decorating a room with lovely wallpaper or painting walls in a colour that has the wow factor, but when you look at the walls if the the skirting boards are not the right design or type for the age of your home it will detract from all the hard work you have put into your decorating.

We forget sometimes how battered skirting boards can become, especially if you have small children. If your children are anything like my seven year old twin girls, who on occasion think it’s ok to fly around the house on their scooters without a care in the world banging and damaging the skirting boards, then they will need replacing on occasion.

The selection of skirting board designs that are available today is fantastic. There is something to suit any type or age of home and of course they are readily available online to be delivered to your home usually the next day. They also come in wood or MDF which is brilliant because they often come pre-primed and ready to gloss for that perfect finish.

While browsing the internet I came across a company that has a huge range of skirting boards to suit all your needs.

Skirting 4U are a family run business that will be able help you find the exact skirting board for your home. If you’re like me, whenever you go to a major retailer the choice of design is very limited. This is why Skirting 4 U is the place to go. They have over 30 MDF designs in skirting boards and of course not all homes are the same size, but that’s not a problem for Skirting 4U. They will customise the skirting boards to fit your home. Along with MDF they also will supply solid oak skirting boards.

They also supply them as I have said in pre-primed ready for painting or they will go a step further and you can have them pre-painted in a flawless finish which is done by one of their in-house paint technicians and all you have to do is fit them. I would call that perfect!

They will also supply MDF samples (postal fees apply) so you can see beforehand what they look like in your home. In addition they also have a helpline or live chat to offer advice to you during office hours Monday-Friday to make sure you get exactly what you need for your home.

They have a fast delivery UK service available with a range of delivery options.

Here are a few designs of skirting boards and the sort of home I think they may suit.

1. Bullnose

The bullnose design is perfect in my opinion for the modern build property and is also perfect for somebody that is looking for the minimalistic look.

2. Edwardian

If you have an old period house and you are trying to make it as original as possible then the Edwardian style is perfect for that.

3. Ogee

This has to probably be one of the most popular styles of skirting board. As a painter and decorator have lost count how many times I have seen this one in homes, but it is that sort of design that fits in anywhere. Whether your home is 100 years old or built just 5 years ago, the ogee is always going to look stunning.

4. Stepped Skirting Board

Finally this is just a personal favourite of mine. It’s a bit different and I think it adds a little sophistication to a room. I love the detail of steps going up to the wall.

All of these skirting boards and many more designs are available in MDF and oak finish from Skirting 4U.

It’s important that when you’re making the decision to decorate in your home that you don’t make a fantastic job of the painting or wallpapering of the walls and then you look down at the floor and you see tatty and battered skirting boards. It will make your hard work be all for nothing. Investing in new skirting boards while you are decorating is something I highly recommend to give your home the perfect look.

If you are looking to replace your skirting boards then I highly recommend you check out Skirting 4U.
