Sofia Vrecar, interior design expert and owner of \u201cDaunenspiel\u201d in Vienna, explains why she can&#8217;t imagine a home without a good skirting board &#8211; and the many different design options available. <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>The skirting board has its origins in places where great importance was attached to representation &#8211; in the castles and city palaces of the Baroque period. In France, under Louis XIV, it advanced from a simple wall protection to an elegant wall crown at the bottom. Painted white and often made of wooden profiles, they contributed significantly to the effect of the room. In Austria during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the chair rail &#8211; as it is known in this country &#8211; also became a style-defining feature: in old buildings with high ceilings, herringbone parquet flooring and stucco, it was an integral part of the architectural language.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stilfrage-mit-substanz\"><strong>Style with substance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Even today, Sofia Vrecar knows that the skirting board is much more than just a functional detail. \u201cIt gives the room stability, visually and actually.\u201d And should definitely be at the top of the list when it comes to living style. Especially in old buildings with high ceilings, it is crucial to think boldly when it comes to skirting boards. \u201cIt&#8217;s okay to choose the next size up. The larger the room, the more ornate the skirting board can be.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n<p>In her work, Vrecar pays attention to the interplay between the door, wall and floor. \u201cPersonally, I think a skirting board should match the door color rather than the wall,\u201d she explains. \u201cBut that&#8217;s also a matter of style. Tone-on-tone with the wall works just as well &#8211; or you can deliberately opt for a contrasting color, such as an elegant grey with white walls.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Skirting boards, chair rails\" class=\"wp-image-26925\" style=\"width:810px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-scaled.jpg 864w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-830x1476.jpg 830w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-h2_3dL9yLpU-unsplash-1200x2134.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can think bigger when it comes to skirting boards &#8211; if the space allows it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-material-hohe-wirkung-von-sockelleisten\"><strong>Material, height, effect<\/strong> <strong>of skirting boards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The choice of materials today is diverse: in addition to classic solid wood, which Vrecar prefers due to its durability, there is also MDF, plastic and even metal. Lacquered skirting boards can either come pre-assembled or be matched to the wall color and style on site. The look is decisive: \u201cIf I&#8217;m working with white and light tones, a white skirting board looks fresh and clear. For more modern concepts with plank flooring, however, I like to stick to the color of the floor.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p>For Vrecar, the height always depends on the dimensions of the room. \u201cBetween 8 and 12 centimetres is common. But from a room height of 3.50 meters, you can go as high as 15 centimeters.\u201d It is important that the skirting board is continuous. \u201cOne flat, one high, one brown, one white &#8211; that creates unrest. A clear line is good for any room.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sockelleisten-montage-mit-mass-und-muhe\"><strong>Skirting boards<\/strong> <strong>Installation with measure and effort<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Anyone who thinks skirting boards are quick to fit is mistaken. \u201cIt&#8217;s a lot of work,\u201d explains Vrecar. \u201cI&#8217;ve seen projects where it took two weeks in a detached house.\u201d Because: no floor is straight, it has to be adjusted, cut and grouted. It&#8217;s no wonder that some carpenters are apprehensive about the task &#8211; \u201cbut the result is worth the effort,\u201d says Sofia Vrecar. A clean joint is important, as the skirting board also protects against moisture penetration, especially in wet areas.     <\/p>\n\n<p>The most common methods are gluing, screwing or click systems. Vrecar prefers gluing: \u201cIt can be removed if you renovate once and is simply quicker.\u201d What&#8217;s more, a glued skirting board can be easily removed or repaired later.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Skirting boards, chair rails\" class=\"wp-image-26917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spacejoy-kz_xZG9ufbk-unsplash-1200x1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eye-catcher: skirting boards in the same color as the wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preisfrage-und-praxisblick\"><strong>Price question and practical view<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>But how much does the fun actually cost? \u201cSkirting boards are available from 7 or 8 euros per running meter &#8211; there&#8217;s room for more,\u201d says Vrecar. \u201cFor solid wood, ready lacquered, you quickly pay 18 to 30 euros per meter. But it&#8217;s an investment that pays off.\u201d If you want to save money, you can also choose MDF or plastic, but you have to know: \u201cSolid wood is more robust, especially if it gets wiped or furniture bumps into it.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<p>Vrecar&#8217;s answer as to whether the skirting boards should be fitted before the furniture is installed is clear: \u201cAlways fit the furniture first. Especially with individual fixtures such as bookshelves or kitchen units, it makes sense to install the skirting boards afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cA beautiful skirting board lifts a room to another level,\u201d concludes Vrecar. \u201cIt is the connecting element between the floor and the wall &#8211; and often exactly what gives the room that final touch of sophistication.\u201d Whether classically elegant or modern flush-mounted &#8211; anyone who underestimates skirting boards is missing out on a lot of design potential. Or as Sofia Vrecar puts it with a wink: \u201cIf I can afford a beautiful herringbone floor, then I&#8217;d like to have a skirting board that&#8217;s worthy of it.\u201d   <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Sofia Vrecar, down play, skirting boards\" class=\"wp-image-23105\" style=\"width:378px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-90x90.png 90w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-580x580.png 580w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel-830x830.png 830w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MYHOME_Experten_Daunenspiel.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Down game founder Sofia Vrecar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>As a creative mind with a pronounced love of high-quality materials and designs, Daunenspiel founder and interior designer Sofia Vrecar translates creative possibilities into suitable colors, shapes and furniture.
