Short And Simple
We find that most customers will choose a shorter skirting board (between 95mm and 145mm) when they are purchasing a modern skirting board.
Most of the designs that are classed as modern are on the smaller side and are much simpler than some of the traditional designs on the market. This makes them ideal for shorter skirting boards, but they work on taller ones too if that's what you're looking for.
A Modern Finish For A Modern Skirting
Our undercoated option gives you a smooth white finish so that you can apply your final finish straight away!
There has been a rise in the number of people choosing to finish their skirting boards in a satin finish as opposed to the usual gloss. This is because satin paint isn't as shiny and gives a more contemporary look.
As well as satin, you could opt for a matt finish if you prefer even less shine.
We've also seen as rise in different paint colours for skirting boards. No longer does everyone paint them white, with grey being a popular skirting board colour choice.
Our modern skirting boards feature simple and minimalist designs that are currently in high demand, and the trend is rapidly growing! Whether you prefer a smooth finish or a subtle groove, we have the perfect skirting board for you.
Bespoke Skirting Board
If you're attempting to match your existing design and haven't managed to find a suitable match from our huge selection, don't worry. Our bespoke matching service is just what you need.
We simply take a detailed drawing or sample section of the skirting from you, get a cutting tool made to match the design and then manufacture the skirting boards to accurately match your existing boards!

Learn More →Tips for Choosing A Modern Profile
- ✓ Choose skirting board heights that complement your room's proportions. Taller ceilings can support higher skirting boards, while lower ceilings benefit from more modest profiles.
- ✓ For high-traffic areas, opt for a profile that will take gloss paint well to highlight the architectural details. In more formal spaces, consider sleeker options that bring the wall elements together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure for skirting boards?
Measure the length of each wall in your room, adding 10% extra for cutting and fitting, or use our skirting board calculator. For height, consider your ceiling height and existing features. We recommend heights between 100mm -200mm for most modern interiors. The average skirting height is 145mm.
Do modern houses have skirting boards?
Yes, the vast majority of new build, modern homes retain the skirting boards as an interior detail. Skirting boards play an important part in concealing gaps left at the bottom of walls.
Are modern skirting boards minimalist in style?
Many modern skirting profiles have a minimalist design, however, some modern skirting boards are more intricate, such as the Stepped 4. Modern skirting shares a lot of design theory with contemporary skirting boards.
How do I maintain my modern skirting boards?
Our modern skirting boards are designed for easy maintenance. Regular dusting and occasional wiping with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Installation Guide
1
Preparation
Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove old skirting boards if necessary. Measure and mark your cutting lines precisely.
2
Cutting
Use a mitre saw for precise angle cuts at corners. For straight cuts, a fine-toothed handsaw or power saw will suffice. Always measure twice and cut once!
3
Fitting
Apply adhesive, nails or screws for a firm fix to the wall.
4
Finishing
Fill any gaps or nail holes with wood filler. Once dry, sand smooth and touch up with paint if needed. Clean the skirting boards for a polished look.
