What can replace the baseboard?

For example, decorative panels are often used, which can imitate almost any surface.

Another great option would be to install door trims. Many of them, by the way, are even cheaper than baseboards.

An unusual alternative would be a ceramic or stone border.

There is also a solution for those apartments where the walls have smooth curves. Flexible PVC skirting boards can take any shape when heated, so they are used to decorate apartments with columns.

The most inexpensive, but at the same time original option is to use a panel of wallpaper. It should stand out in contrast to the wallpaper on the wall, and then the interior will acquire an unusual highlight.
