Lists can do more than just hide seams: they can emphasize, beautify, style, and finish the interior. Read our best tips for choosing lists.
Interior lists are traditionally used to finish the junctions of rooms. Ceiling and floor lists define the room and are often the last step in a renovation, but nowadays the role of lists is becoming an increasingly central part of design – a neat and finished result is made with lists.
The most important lists in the home are floor and ceiling lists as well as various casing lists. In all cases, a ceiling list is not always necessary, but most often a fairly discreet shadow list is chosen for the ceiling. Casing lists around door frames and windows, on the other hand, follow the style of the baseboard.
CENT's basic lists are made from Finnish pine or MDF. Pine lists are available pre-painted, lacquered, stained, and also raw wood. Wooden lists withstand processing well and can be painted multiple times. Wooden lists also absorb and release moisture.
Shadow list is a stylish, discreet choice for the ceiling edge.
Proven rules of thumb for choosing lists
We have supplied home finishing products for 30 years. Our experience has shown a few proven rules of thumb for choosing lists:
- Choose the shape of the lists according to the spirit and architecture of the home. The style of the lists can reflect the building period of the house. For example, decorative, patterned lists suit old apartments. Now, stunning, striking baseboards and wall surfaces are being made in old apartments using decorative lists creatively.
- When choosing lists, consider the height of the room: if the list is tall, it can make the space feel low. A good basic rule is that the lower the room, the lower the list should be.
- Choose the wood tone to match the other wood surfaces in the home. The absolutely most common list color is white. The baseboard color can also be chosen according to the floor color – this style is often repeated in houses built in the 1960s and 70s.
- When choosing a suitable color for the list, first think about what you want to emphasize in the space? Is the intention to create a calm first impression, a harmonious whole, or to highlight, for example, window openings with window lists of a certain color, thus emphasizing the view and the size of the windows?
- In renovations, a large number of wires can be hidden in the wire grooves of baseboards. So consider in advance how much space the wires will take.
- Remember that you can try a bolder interior style by implementing one room with the most striking lists.
