Add Baseboard Lighting

What is baseboard?

Baseboard refers to the wooden, tile, or aluminum board between the wall and the floor. It is typically available in varying shapes and colors, with a typical size ranging from 3 to 8 inches.

What’s the purpose of a Baseboard?

The purpose of the baseboard is to serve as a protective barrier and decorative element along the bottom of the walls. It is designed to cover the joint between the wall surface and the floor, preventing damage from furniture, vacuum cleaners, and other objects. Additionally, baseboards can add visual appeal to a room, enhancing its overall aesthetic. Baseboard also helps to hide gaps and unevenness between the wall and floor, creating a finished and polished look. In summary, baseboard serves practical and aesthetic purposes, providing protection and enhancing the appearance of walls and floors.
