Why Your Fitted Wardrobe Deserves a Skirting Board Finish – 5 Benefits You’ll Love
Jun 3, 2025
When planning a fitted wardrobe or built-in storage solution, there’s one detail that often gets overlooked — the skirting board finish. This small but powerful design choice can completely transform the look of your wardrobe, giving it a seamless, high-end appearance that feels like an original part of your home rather than an addition.
At PaxBespoke, we believe the beauty of a wardrobe lies in its details. A well-designed base and skirting connection make a world of difference — both visually and structurally. Here are five great reasons to include a skirting board finish in your fitted wardrobe design.
1. A Beautiful, Polished Look
A fitted wardrobe with a skirting board detail instantly looks more refined and complete.
Instead of appearing as a separate piece of furniture, it connects neatly to your room’s existing skirting, creating a clean, built-in aesthetic. This finishing touch adds depth, balance, and a luxury designer feel to your space.
2. Seamless Integration with Your Room
Your wardrobe should enhance your room’s design — not clash with it.
By matching the profile and colour of your existing skirting, your wardrobe blends effortlessly into the room. This smooth integration helps even smaller or tricky-shaped rooms feel more open, balanced, and thoughtfully finished.
3. Adds Value and a Premium Feel
A skirting finish might seem like a minor detail, but it has a big impact on the overall look and value of your wardrobe.
It’s one of the most effective ways to achieve a bespoke, luxury built-in look — without the high cost of fully custom joinery. You’ll enjoy that same refined finish that defines high-end interiors, while keeping your project affordable.
4. Perfect Fit, Even in Challenging Spaces
Every home has its quirks — uneven walls, angled ceilings, or alcoves.
A fitted wardrobe with a custom base ensures a precise, gap-free fit, even in rooms that aren’t perfectly square. Our designers carefully shape the skirting and plinths to match your space, creating a flawless, made-to-measure result that looks built in from the very start.
5. Attention to Detail That Reflects Quality
A skirting board finish shows true craftsmanship and attention to detail.
It’s that final touch that separates a standard installation from a professionally fitted, bespoke wardrobe. When every joint, edge, and profile aligns perfectly, you can instantly see — and feel — the difference in quality.
