3 Floor Trim Styles for Your Winnipeg Home

When you want to update your floors, you have to pick a style that works with your home’s decor and budget. Whichever style of flooring you pick, you also must add finishing touches to complete the look, such as trim or accent pieces. There are different designs of trim that can completely change the way your space feels. Consider choosing Handyman Connection as your carpenter in Winnipeg to create trim pieces for your new flooring.

How Trim Pieces Can Add Style and Sophistication to Your Space

Trim pieces can help complete the look of a space and give your room more of a finished appearance. Floor trim also has some specific purposes that add value to your home and help protect your floors and walls from damage.

The main reason your contractor will suggest you add trim or baseboard to your room is to create a seamless transition from the wall to the floor. The trim piece can cover up the line or gap between the flooring installation and the end of your wall and help smooth out the look. Additionally, floor trim can help protect the wall from moisture, spills and mishaps. Here are three floor trim styles that may look great on your floor installation. 

1. Mop Baseboard Trim

A common style of baseboard that is functional and inexpensive is one-piece trim or the mop baseboard style. This baseboard is easy to install since it is one piece. The simple style is a good choice for homes with a contemporary or craftsman style.

Mop boards can be constructed in many different types of material, such as wood, vinyl or fiberboard. This style of baseboard is flat and doesn’t feature any details, but it can have a rounded or angular edge at the top.

2. Two-Piece Base Trim

For something a little more decorative, you can go with a two-piece baseboard style. The two-piece baseboard has a flat main component and a decorative edge with stylized moulding on the top. This style of baseboard is more difficult to install since it requires lots of precision in the placement of each piece.

You can also customize the look of your flooring and overall space with different edge styles for your trim. Traditional homes can look great with a detailed edge, and contemporary spaces can benefit from two-piece trim with bevelled moulding.

3. Profiled Base Trim

Another top choice for baseboard trim is a look with a profiled base. Instead of attaching two separate moulded pieces to your floor and ceiling, you can save time and effort with a profiled base trim that combines the two components into one simple piece.

A carpenter can custom design a profiled base trim with an edge that complements your room’s look. You can also select base trim that already features a specific profile to save some money. You should also choose matching trim pieces for other elements in your room, such as door trim, ceiling molding and window trim.
