As we all know, PVC skirting is a composite floor decoration profile, mainly composed of a base material and a surface layer. Its surface is usually covered with a PVC film, which can create various styles and perfectly match any indoor environment.
This article will introduce 6 types of PVC skirting and their 6 surface treatments, and the advantages of each surface treatment.
PVC skirting boards are known for their rich finishes and play an important role in the decoration of modern homes and commercial spaces. Their finishes include:
Wood grain finish is the most commonly used finish series for PVC skirting boards. It can simulate wood texture and color, creating a natural and warm atmosphere, suitable for Nordic, Japanese, or pastoral style spaces.
Its surface texture is delicate and visually similar to solid wood. It can be matched with wooden floors or wood grain tiles to enhance the overall coordination and improve the layering of the space.
The marble finish PVC skirting board adopts reverse stone texture and bright finish, presenting a noble and elegant decorative effect. It is suitable for modern, European, or light luxury style interior environments.
The surface of the stone skirting board is smooth and delicate, with rich colors, which perfectly blend with tiles and stone floors to enhance the texture of the space.
Leather-textured PVC skirting boards create a warm and cozy atmosphere by simulating the texture and touch of leather. This finish is usually suitable for American, European, or modern style spaces.
Leather-textured skirting boards are comfortable to the touch and come in a variety of colors. They can be coordinated with furniture, walls, and other elements to enhance the atmosphere of the space.
PVC skirting boards with fabric finish have realistic texture, soft visual appearance, and warm touch, and are mostly used in Nordic, Japanese, and pastoral style spaces.
It can be matched with other fabric home elements (such as fabric furniture and curtains) to create a harmonious and unified visual effect.
The skin-friendly series PVC skirting adopts a matte and delicate surface treatment, softening the touch and presenting a low-key and restrained beauty visually.
It is usually used in modern, simple, or high-end gray interior design, forming a unified visual effect with the walls and floors of the same color.
Diatom mud series PVC skirting has a realistic natural texture and feel of diatom mud, creating a healthy and environmentally friendly home atmosphere.
Its surface texture is delicate and suitable for a new Chinese style, natural, or simple style home environment. It can be coordinated with diatom mud wall, wooden floor, and other elements to enhance the beauty of the space.
The color matching of skirting boards requires skills, which will affect the beauty and coordination of the entire space. The following are three common skirting board matching principles:
The color of the skirting should be the same or similar to the wall color, so that the skirting can be visually "invisible" and create a unified and simple spatial element effect.
This combination is suitable for the minimalist style, which can reduce the sense of division of the space and make the room appear more open visually.
For low-rise houses, this combination helps to avoid visual oppression and improve the comfort of the space.
The color of the skirting is similar to the color of the floor, which can visually extend the area of the floor and make your floor look more open.
This matching method of the same color as the floor is more suitable for decoration in Nordic, Japanese, and other styles, and can create a warm and harmonious home atmosphere.
However, it is worth noting that for houses on lower floors, dark colors should not be used to avoid the illusion of visual space compression.
Setting the skirting board to the same color as the door frame can enhance the beauty and smoothness of the space lines.
This combination is mostly used in modern and light luxury interior styles, forming continuous lines visually and enhancing the design sense of the space.
Especially in areas with more doors, a unified color can avoid visual clutter.
When you are confused about choosing the color of the skirting board, you can consider the following factors to get some inspiration:
The skirting board should be coordinated with the interior decoration style.
For example, modern minimalist style is suitable for choosing simple colors such as white or gray. While traditional style may be more suitable for choosing dark-toned wood grain to enhance the layering of the space.
You can choose to match the color of the wall or floor to achieve visual unity.
For example, the same color as the wall can make the ceiling look higher visually, while the same color as the floor can stretch the floor space and make the floor area look larger.
Matching your skirting boards to the doorframe or main furniture color can enhance the overall feel of the space and keep the design elements consistent.
In small rooms or rooms with insufficient lighting, you can choose light-colored skirtings to increase brightness. On the contrary, in large rooms with good lighting, dark-colored skirtings can increase stability and layering.
Baseboards made of different materials have different colors and craftsmanship. You can make the most suitable choice based on project requirements, budget, personal preferences, and other factors.
Please take your hobbies and lifestyle into consideration. For example, if you have children or pets in your home, you can choose skirting boards in dark colors to make them more resistant to dirt and reduce the frequency of cleaning.
It can be seen that PVC skirtings are rich in colors and can be customized into any color according to your needs.
But before you make a decision, please fully consider your decoration style, project requirements, budget, preferences, and other factors, and strictly follow the three principles of skirting color matching.
