Do I go traditional with lambs tongue Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Vic Colonial or Bullnose Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ 67mm around the doors, but unsure if I should go 92mm or 140mm for the skirting. I'm open to suggestions, so doesn't have to be from the above range. I'm planning to use MDF to keep cost down, the bathrooms won't have any skirting. So let me know your thoughts, including using 140mm skirting. Thanks Re: Architrave advice 2Nov 14, 2012 1:59 pm I'd use lambs tongue, just coz I think the colonial would make everything a bit too 'busy' when combined with the cornice you have and the bullnose would be too modern in comparison. - MrsT Brought first house in 2008.

Our thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=67954 Re: Architrave advice 3Nov 15, 2012 12:50 am We have solid spotted gum floors, 90mm Sydney Cove cornice and chose 92mm bullnose for the skirting. Being a classic bullnose profile, we felt it was in keeping and complemented the cornice without competing with it. I guess it really just comes down to personal preference. Architrave advice 4Nov 15, 2012 6:42 pm Thanks for your thoughts. I'm a little closer, and I agree that the Colonial is a little busy. I'm afraid the Bullnose is too plain in 140mm profile, so at this stage thinking either 140mm Lambs Tongue or 92mm Bullnose. As you say it's just a personal preference. Oh yeah is it a good idea to install skirting over tiles in the laundry (every other wet area won't have skirting. Re: Architrave advice 5Nov 15, 2012 7:43 pm Lambs tongue for me also! Fits better with the cornice style.
