Wood baseboards are an architectural element and design detail that pull a room together and protect walls from damage. They also hide the point where the walls meet the floor, creating a more unified look to a room.
Baseboard moulding is usually less elaborate than other types of trim, like crown moulding. And in modern homes, that simplicity is both welcomed and highlighted. There’s also the extra benefit of fewer places for dust and dirt to hide in the simpler design elements.
A solid wood baseboard is considered to be the best option because they’re the most durable. Like with many other types of moulding, you can stain or paint your wooden baseboards to better match a room’s design aesthetic.
Baseboards will also help protect against water damage to your drywall. It acts as a barrier between the drywall and the floor, preventing spills from entering your walls. For homes that already have crooked or warped walls, baseboards can help disguise gaps with some clever placement.
This technique works well with hardwood floors as well. Floors that expand and contract will inevitably have small gaps to account for their collecting and expelling moisture. Baseboards can cover these gaps for a seamless look.

Baseboards, or base mouldings, are installed along the bottom of the wall. Base trim comes in a variety of materials, from medium density fiberboard (MDF) to PVC. However, wood baseboards are usually the sturdiest option. Deciding what type of baseboard material is right for your home requires consideration of several factors, including your home’s environment, the purpose of your project, and the style of molding you choose. Our team is happy to work with you in deciding what type of baseboard will best fit your needs.
