We've moved into a late Victorian house, high ceilings, large windows etc. All needs decorating.
The current skirting is 6 inch & quite plain. Has a slight detail at the top very similar to standard ogee. It's not the original skirting.
I want to make more of a feature with woodwork & ideally 9 inch would look better with the high ceilings. Instead of replacing all of the skirting, is there anything I could use to extend them & add more detail?
I'm thinking a 2 inch dado rail or some thing similar, beading etc. Or would it look naff?
Any suggestions would be great. I've looked at buying new mdf Victorian profile skirtings 9" cheapest I could find was about £7 per linearmetre
As opposed to about £1 pm for adding dado or something similar.
Thanks in advance
