Baseboards Advice/Suggestions

[CP]

Hello Everyone,

I removed the carpeting for my house and had the original (white oak) wood
floors refinished.

I also removed the baseboards and trashed them.

I'm looking for some advice on replacing the baseboards.

Anybody with a good eye for this kind of thing I would appreciate your
input.

I am sure I have left out info that would be helpful so let me know and I'll
provide it.

Thanks

CP

Depends on the style of the house. We have a contemporary style, with ivory
white painted walls. After putting in red oak floors, we decided we liked
the look of softwood baseboards painted the color of the walls, highlighting
and dramatizing the floors, and looking a bit more elegant than matching oak
baseboards, albeit varnished oak is more scratch resistant.

How often does everyone clean their floor baseboards? This is one of my big to-do things through out the whole house.

And what's the best way to clean them? Just water & a small amount of soap? I'm trying to stay away from the chemical cleaners if possible.

Thanks!
