Which skirting profiles should I choose?

Emerging Trends for 2025–2026 Timeless Classics (Always in Demand)
Homeowners and designers are increasingly seeking bold statements and sustainable solutions: These interior design styles have remained popular for decades and continue to feature in renovations and new builds:
Oversized Skirtings (185mm–285mm) Victorian & Georgian Profiles (e.g., SK460, SK99)
Making walls appear taller and rooms more luxurious. Rich curves, detailed edges, perfect for heritage restorations and traditional interiors.
Minimalist Square-Edge Profiles (e.g., SK800 range) Hamptons-Style Skirting (e.g., SK321)
Sharp, clean lines complementing modern and Japandi interiors. Clean lines, moderate heights, and a coastal-chic look that suits both classic and modern homes.
Curved & Wave-Like Profiles Colonial & Federation Designs
Soft edges that add subtle movement to contemporary spaces. A versatile choice blending elegance with practicality.
Eco-Friendly Materials Standard Heights (115–135mm)
Sustainably sourced timbers are rising in popularity as sustainability becomes a purchase driver. These remain the “safe” middle ground across Australian homes.

What are the most popular skirting board heights for 2026 homes?

185mm is a very popular skirting board height for new and renovated homes, as it gives a solid statement without overwhelming the space. However, for higher-ceiling homes, we recommend a larger profile to create a more dramatic look. At Intrim, we suggest choosing skirting heights proportional to your ceiling height. See our rough guide below:

Ceiling Height Common Skirting Height
2,400-2,500 mm ~ 135 mm
2,500–2,700 mm ~ 185 mm
2,700–3,000 mm ~ 230 mm
Over 3,000 mm 285 mm+

What is the difference between MDF and pine skirting in durability?

Pine tends to offer longer-term durability, especially for areas prone to moisture or that require frequent cleaning as it is less likely to swell or warp.

MDF is a great choice for dry, low-impact areas – it offers a smoother finish and costs less, but damage to MDF is harder to fix than pine.

What architrave style adds value to property renovations?

Current trends suggest that the following architrave styles have the biggest impact on aesthetic appeal and resale in Australia:

  • Classic ornate styles (Victorian / Georgian / French Provincial)
    • Deep curves, decorative detailing, and moulded edges
    • Adds architectural character and conveys “quality craftsmanship”.
  • Hamptons / Farmhouse profiles
    • Soft curves and balanced detailing without being overly ornate.
    • These styles remain popular in contemporary renovations seeking a warm, premium look.
  • Modern / minimalist / Shadowline
    • Clean, sharp edges; sometimes recessed or “shadow” reveals to give a refined, architectural finish.
    • Especially effective in modern builds or high-end renovations where buyers expect sleek, understated detailing.
  • Curved / arched architraves
    • Elliptical or curved doorways are trending in prestige homes. These give a bespoke touch and help differentiate from mass-market finish.
