Architraves and skirting boards are important because they create an overall framework for your home, decorating theme and furniture. Choose sleek lines for a contemporary feel or go decorative for a more elegant look.

Architraves also have a functional purpose by hiding the gap between the wall lining material, door jamb or window frames. Skirtings or base boards serve as a trim or finishing moulding where walls meet floors.

Apart from adding a stylish visual look to your room, they protect walls from everyday wear and tear and scuffs.
