Colonial Skirting & Architraves – Style 2

The wrong finishing details can make a whole room feel slightly off. The walls can look bare, the transition to the floor can feel abrupt, and doors and windows can seem disconnected from the rest of the interior. Our Colonial Skirting & Architraves Style 2 helps solve that by bringing shape, balance and traditional character to tie a space together.

This profile is a strong choice for anyone renovating a character home, updating a Queenslander, or building an interior that needs more warmth and detail than a plain modern moulding can offer. It helps create a decorative finish around walls, doors and windows while giving the space a look that feels considered and in keeping with the style of the home. At Colonial Wall Linings, we supply Style 2 in practical material options and sizes for an easier choice of a profile.

What is Colonial Skirting Boards Style 2?

Some profiles are designed to disappear into the background. Colonial Style 2 does the opposite. It adds shape, depth and character to the lower edge of the wall and around openings, helping the room feel more complete and giving the interior a more considered touch.

This style suits homes where a plain square edge would feel too simple. It works well in heritage homes, Queenslanders, and interiors where you want a more traditional look without going overboard. When used consistently across skirting boards and architraves, it helps bring the whole room together and can sit comfortably alongside classic flooring and furniture choices.

Material Options for Different Jobs

Different projects call for different materials, which is why Colonial Style 2 is available in MDF and timber options.

MDF is often chosen for painted interior applications to achieve a smooth finish and consistency. It is a practical option for many projects and works well when you want a clean, uniform result across multiple rooms, with good surface quality and dependable stability.

Timber and pine options suit projects where a natural material is preferred or where the look and feel of timber is part of the finish. These options are well-suited to traditional interiors and renovation work where material choice can make a noticeable difference to the final result.

More Than Just a Finishing Detail

The scale of your moulding can have a big impact on the final look. Lower, more understated profiles can suit smaller rooms or simpler interiors, while taller profiles often work better in homes with more character or higher ceilings.

Colonial Style 2 is available in a range of sizes, giving you flexibility depending on the look you want to achieve. Whether you are matching an existing profile or selecting moulding for a new project, checking the size, length and proportions is an important part of getting the finish right.

Frequently asked questions

Can Colonial Style 2 be used in both renovations and new builds?

Yes. This profile is a good fit for renovation work where you want to retain a traditional feel, and it also works well in new homes aiming for a more classic interior style.

Is Colonial Style 2 only suitable for heritage homes?

No. While it suits heritage and character homes very well, it can also be used in more contemporary homes where you want to introduce a softer, more decorative finish.

Can I mix this profile with other moulding styles in the same home?

Yes, although it is usually best to keep skirting boards and architraves consistent within the same area. In larger homes or staged renovations, some customers use different but similar profiles in different sections of the home where it makes sense.

Does this profile need to be painted after installation?

If you select a primed option, it will still need to be painted after installation to achieve the finished look. A final painting also helps tie the moulding in with the rest of the interior.

Is this profile commonly used around both doors and windows?

Yes. Many customers use the same architrave profile around both doors and windows to create a more unified look throughout the interior.
