What style of home works best with flat baseboards?
Flat baseboards are ideal for modern, contemporary, Scandinavian, transitional, and modern farmhouse homes. Their simple profile creates clean lines that remain timeless and easy to coordinate with other interior finishes.
Why choose MDF for baseboards?
