Which looks better - white or wood effect beading?

[Helenb]

Hi, which looks best, white or wood effect beading against a white skirting board to finish my wooden laminate floor?

 

[swiftee]

wondering the same...

I am getting a nice new coffee coloured bamboo floor in a few weeks and cannot decide what to do for the beading. I have seen those horrible fake beadings that can be used but I think they can cheapen the look if not matched well to the timber. I am considering to get some triangular shaped beading (or quadrant) and painting the same colour as the skirting (which is white). Removing the skirting (then sanding, repairing, repainting etc) seems like a time consuming job so I have disregarded that option.

does anyone have photos of beading they have painted to match the skirting they can share?? thanks

In my opinion wood effect is better. I've got that in my living room

It's probably a matter of taste. But I'd go with wood to offset the floor rather than the skirting.

I used Quadrant, painted first before fixing.

Alternative...apply a self adhesive profile (foam rubber) to the bottom of the skirting, it will both give a look and seal out draughts...bosshogg
