Baseboards are the finishing touch that makes a room feel complete — they frame the space and hide the gap where wall meets floor. Here's what to know.
Popular baseboard styles
- Modern flat/square: clean, contemporary lines.
- Colonial & ogee: classic curved profiles.
- Tall baseboards (5–7"): add drama and a high-end feel.
- With shoe or quarter-round: bridges uneven floors cleanly.
What professional installation includes
- Precise mitered corners and seamless scarf joints
- Scribing to uneven floors
- Nailing, filling, and caulking
- Priming and painting (or staining)
Common timing
Baseboards typically go in after flooring and before final paint touch-up. If you're installing new floors, it's the perfect time to upgrade the baseboards too.
