Baseboards are generally used to cover the defects that appear after laminate flooring, painting or plastering and to prevent damage to the wall. However, when choosing laminate flooring, harmony should be sought with the baseboards as well as the furniture and walls.
To make the interior decoration look harmonious, it is important to consider the colors of the floor, baseboards and doors and how they relate to each other. When it comes to baseboards, the first thing that comes to mind is white gloss or natural wood textures that are compatible with laminate flooring.
You should choose baseboards produced in various thicknesses in accordance with your wall and floor structure. Generally preferred baseboards should be two centimeters wide and four centimeters in height. It is now accepted that the thickness of the baseboards also somewhat contributes to the appearance of the living room.
Having the baseboards in the same color as the laminate parquet is not always necessary. Here, your tastes and instincts should come into play, as well as the suggestions of your craftsman or interior decorator. When it comes to color harmony, consider contrasting colors. Especially if you have decided on a light-colored floor, dark products will look very stylish in your interior. Harmony is of course not only limited to color harmony. The pattern of your laminate flooring, the size and shape of the segments must also be taken into account. Baseboards at the height you choose in parallel to these will look much more elegant. Finally, you can also consider the textural harmony with the floor. The choice of baseboards on the doors and walls you use in decoration is as important as the laminate flooring.
These criteria should also be taken into consideration when choosing baseboards to highlight your wall covering and create a whole with your door. For example, if you use softer colors in baseboard, you can highlight the delicate details in the patterned wallpaper more beautifully. A white baseboard can make the wallpaper look dull. On the contrary, the clever use of soft colors gives it vitality. For example, a gray baseboard will help you get the effect you expect from a light colored wall. Or you can match your baseboard with one of the shades of your wall covering and achieve a beautiful color harmony.
Baseboards in dark colors are an effective design tool in a long and narrow corridor. Skirting around corners and curves all the way to the end of the corridor will look remarkable in the space and become a focal point.
Placing the focus on the baseboard will create the feeling of a larger and brighter space in the hallway. Another use is to use a single color in walls and wood, creating a strong and attractive look. Since the baseboards do not break the color scheme in this type of painting, the whole wall shade can make the corridor look larger than it is. If you are also looking for ideas for offices, you should definitely take a look at aluminum baseboard types in terms of durability and modern appearance.
It would be wrong to say that it is always correct to have the baseboards in the same color as the laminate parquet.
