What Height Skirting Board Do You Need?

Skirting board height changes how a room feels, so it is worth choosing deliberately. Here is a simple way to decide.

Taller boards suit taller rooms

As a rough guide, the higher the ceiling, the taller the skirting should be. Older houses with high ceilings usually look best with a taller, more decorative board. Lower, modern rooms tend to suit a shorter, simpler profile.

Our heights

• 120mm: a good all-round height for most modern homes.
• 170mm: a taller board that gives more presence, popular for period properties and larger rooms.

Match your architrave
