Surface-mounted baseboards are an interesting option to elegantly and functionally dress up the bottom of your walls. Unlike recessed baseboards, these are installed once the floor and wall covering are in place, allowing you to freely choose their height and material according to your interior style. For example, opt for varnished wood baseboards for a classic look, or lacquered PVC for a more contemporary ambiance. These baseboards will discreetly conceal the expansion joint and effectively protect the bottom of your walls against impacts and wear. Their installation is generally simpler and faster than that of recessed baseboards. Feel free to match them with your other decorative elements for harmonious aesthetic coherence. They will be the little extra that will sublimate the finish of your room.
