7 Popular Skirting Board Profiles

1. Lamb’s Tongue

This profile is popular among woodworkers and carpenters and is made up of a variety of rounded and squared edges joined together by a 45-degree chamfer. When used on skirting boards, the chamfered slope usually ends on a vertical surface. Typically used to smooth down harsh edges and add a touch of Victorian-era style. 

2. Half-Splayed

Its defining characteristic is a sloped edge that cuts from the middle. Its sharp, basic pattern is a top pick for modern decor. 

3. WA Federation

This one is unapologetically Victorian. It has a tall, simple ogee-styled profile to reflect the grandeur and elegance of traditional Victorian homes with high ceilings, cornices, and wide windows.

4. WA Colonial

This profile has just the right amount of curves and details to give your interior design a further boost of sophistication and charm while allowing custom room features to take centre stage. It also offers a victorian feel, although the clean lines can go well with a contemporary style as well. 

5. Bullnose

What distinguishes this type of skirting board, often referred to as pencil round skirting, is its incredibly straightforward design. It has a simple rounded top edge – nothing more, nothing less.

6. Square 

A skirting board with clean, simple, straight edges. And why not? Given that clean, sharp lines heavily influence interior design in the present day, it is no surprise that the square form is so well-liked.

7. Quad

Yet another straightforward design; however, this one curves from top to bottom rather than straight. One simple curve that can add more flair and character to your interior.
