Space between floor and baseboard

[David Ragnarson]

I have a beautiful older turn-of-the-century apartment and I am looking for tips on the best and most stylish way to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard.

I do not want to use a quarter round molding.

A skirting board at an appropriate height.
But the best thing is to remove the baseboards and plane them in so it's tight.

You can never completely fill the gap without tearing up the entire floor and leveling it, but it looks nice as it is. No one except you will be kneeling and looking. It looks perfectly normal, in my opinion. Be glad you have nice floors and baseboards.

If you want it completely tight, you'll probably need to move from your nice turn-of-the-century apartment to something newly produced, and even then there won't be a 0mm gap.

Have a nice older period-style apartment and would like tips on the nicest and best way to fill the gap between the floor and the skirting board.

Don't want to install quarter round.

Looks like a fairly large gap along the wall with the lengthwise board, so you can saw a strip and tap it in. A bit trickier on the next wall, perhaps, where the boards are uneven.

Quarter round?
