Designer skirting boards: 2022’s popular profiles

Sponsored by Intrim Mouldings

It’s the beginning of a new year and as there was such interest from our readers in timber mouldings trends and styles last year, we’re sharing the top 10 skirting board profiles for 2022 from our friends at Intrim Mouldings.  

Yes, it’s become a bit of a cliche, but you probably can’t deny that all the extra time spent at home has made you notice the little things you’d like to improve about your home along with giving you a renewed enthusiasm for having a nice space. I always say a great interior is the sum of all the finer details, so skirting boards and architraves (door and window frames) are a great place to start. And then you might consider adding other decorative inlay mould, wainscoting or VJ panelling, which have all seen a surge in popularity.

Getting these details right makes a huge impact on a room, turning a house into a home and a bland commercial space (if we ever get back to the office) into a desirable place to work.

In terms of style, it comes as no surprise that we see a continuation of the beloved Hamptons and modern contemporary styling. There has also been a resurgence of French Provincial styling as decorative mouldings with bold curves and fine detailed finishes grow in popularity. So, let’s take a look at the top 10 profiles that are red hot at the moment and how they can be incorporated into different styles.

 1:   SK58

SK58 is a consistent best-seller for its all-round Hamptons styling, beautiful curves, and ability to blend into a more modern style. The most popular combination is a 185mm skirting board with a 90mm matching architrave. However you can go bigger to suit your rooms. A general rule of thumb is tall ceilings can look better with taller skirting and larger architraves as they give scale to the room.

Available in 90mm, 115mm, 135mm wide, 185mm, 230mm and 285mm wide x 18mm thick

2:  SK800 Shadowline

The SK800 Shadowline System is the perfect profile for a modern contemporary styled home. Its minimalist sleek look provides a neat finish to the base of plasterboard walls. The great thing about the Shadowline System is that it allows you to create gorgeous, modern interiors with slim, seamless finishes around walls and doors.

The Intrim Shadowline System door jambs are available to suit 70mm and 90mm stud widths and available in 30mm and 40mm thicknesses. Shadowline Skirting Board is available to suit 10mm and 13mm plasterboard thickness. Check out the different options here.

5.  SK399

 SK399 is the perfect profile to use in a modern contemporary or Art Deco styled home, its shadowline look making it modern, clean and classic.

Available in 42mm, 66mm, 90mm, 115mm, 135mm, 185mm, 230mm, 285mm high and 18mm thick. 

7.  SK60

SK60 may be the perfect profile for a country or Hamptons styled home but with its beautiful detailing and elegant, balanced curves it’s the kind of profile which can work well with just about any style, including Colonial or Victorian. 

Available in 90mm, 115mm, 135mm, 185mm, 230mm, 285mm high and 18mm thick.

And it just got REALLY easy!

One of the exciting new additions to the skirting boards offering is Fast Trim. This is a pre-scribed skirting board, and it means that the humble renovator or handy DIYer can order the skirting, ready to go. The scribe is the cutting process for an internal corner and for most designs it takes a specialist to do it well. Fast Trim pre-scribed skirting saves an experienced fit out carpenter up to 45% of their installation time. Imagine what it can save you if you are DIY’ing your renovation!

Transform your home with architectural mouldings

Sponsored by Intrim Mouldings

When it comes to redecorating your home, skirting boards, architraves, handrails and the likes don’t get much attention. Let’s be honest, choosing soft furnishings seems a lot more exciting. But the right architectural mouldings can, for a relatively low price, transform your home.

Intrim Mouldings is a leading manufacturer in finely crafted, quality timber mouldings. With options to suit any style or design, you can get trimwork that is quintessential Hamptons to Victorian heritage and everything in-between. They’re particularly ideal if you want to refresh an old home or add some character and period details to a new build.

It truly is bang for your buck. One Intrim customer recently bought a home for $930,000 and spent $4,367 on bespoke timber mouldings (they also repainted the walls and put in a new carpet). Refresh done, and the home was valued at $1.275 million! You can’t argue with that return on investment.

Let’s take a closer look at the design options:

The Hamptons style is defined by casual, relaxed beachside living but done in a classic and very sophisticated way. The look is bright and breezy, featuring high skirting boards with big rounded profile features and beautiful wall wainscoting.

The French Provincial style combines fanciful furnishings with fine linens and gentle tones. Very ornate and decoratively detailed mouldings are showcased around fireplaces, on walls and as beautiful cornice and skirting boards.

The Edwardian/Georgian look is all about coordination! These styles rely on straight lines, symmetry and finesse to achieve a clean look. Skirting boards, chair rails and picture rails are typical of this style with textiles and tapestries hung as features. Timber mouldings are stained or painted in similar tones, and furnishings blend perfectly with the walls.

“More of everything” is the trademark of the Colonial/Victorian era, with homes incorporating various styles ranging from classic facades to extremely ornate and decorative embellishments. Highly detailed dado rails, wall panelling and skirting boards are synonymous with the look.

Interior mouldings in Modern homes often use a minimal shadowline skirting or a smaller profile with sharp, hard lines. Timber trimwork is painted to cover the natural grain or is used as a contrast to more artificial shapes and materials such as concrete.

Once you have picked the look you like, the Intrim Room Styler is your next port of call. Super easy to use, it helps you visualise your chosen mouldings in your home. Simply choose one of the room scenes based on your preferred interior style and quickly find the perfect trimwork to create the exact design you want. You can then request a sample and once you are sure on your decision, the final mouldings will be dispatched within five days from order.

Intrim manufacture in Picton, NSW, and deliver Australia-wide.
