ᐅ Tiles in Living Areas – Baseboards Made of Tiles or Wood?

Hello everyone,

We will have tiles installed on the ground floor. We originally planned to have the baseboard made from the same tile material.

However, someone suggested using a simple white wooden baseboard instead.

How did you solve this? Photos are welcome 🙂

Thank you!

PS: Please no general discussions about tiles as flooring.

I can’t show anything yet, but I also wanted to use white wooden baseboards in the living areas – even though there are tiles (although these are wood-look tiles). Only in the wet rooms will there be tiled baseboards, but this is limited because my wife wants at least 1.2–1.5 meters (4–5 feet) of tiles everywhere.

Just like in real life.... 😀, although in my idea the baseboard was brown, meaning wood-colored. As shown here, it also looks nice; to me, the color fits better with the wall.

I think the wooden baseboards from @Georgian2019 suit the chosen tiles very well. Our wood-look tiles are somewhat lighter, but I can still imagine it working nicely.

Yes, but it’s always difficult to imagine how it will look in the entire room based on just a few sample tiles. At least, we find it challenging. 🤨

Tiles throughout the entire ground floor. 60x120cm (24x48 inches). In a kind of cement look. A slightly warmer gray. Baseboards made of wood, painted white. Nothing else for my taste. (Except in the bathroom, where of course there will be tile baseboards).

Some friends of mine have the same: gray tiles and a white baseboard. At first, I was surprised, but I think it works really well in living areas.

Addition:

I just read that you are doing wood-effect tiles. Wood effect is of course a broad term. But you can basically just use the look of a parquet floor as a reference.
Upstairs, we have oak parquet and also white wooden skirting boards everywhere (except, of course, again in the bathroom). I think it looks very modern.
