Hello,
our tile supplier asked us whether we prefer ready-made baseboards or if we would rather order a few extra tiles and have the tiler cut the baseboards themselves.
We were a bit unsure and didn’t really know what to decide, especially since there was no sample piece available.
The tiles are 20x120 cm (8x48 inches) with a wood look.
Advantage of ready-made baseboards: rounded edges with wood appearance.
Disadvantage: somewhat more expensive.
With cut baseboards, the tile edge would be visible, but this hardly stands out (similar color tone).
What do you think? Would you regret giving up the rounded edges?

Otherwise, just take more tiles and cut two baseboards of 5cm (2 inches) each from every tile. These will have perfect edges.
I’m not familiar with a rounded cut. I also wouldn’t know how that would work or look with porcelain tiles. That’s right, the tiler just does it like that. He cuts one strip from each long side; the rest is waste. You can’t do it differently without ending up with sharp edges. The straightforward solution from @nordanney works well. I wouldn’t buy prefabricated base tiles at such a price.
