Oak skirting against non-white wall. How would you finish it?
I’ve put oak skirting throughout the house and where we have white walls I’ve finished the top with a thin bead of calk to cover the gap between the skirting and the walls where the walls aren’t plumb straight.
In our hallway we have the classic ‘Elephant’s Breath’ paint. White caulk would obviously not go with this paint and the oak, and my cutting in is about as refined as an ape painting with a brick so there no chance I’d try to caulk and then paint the caulk. It’s not a massive gap so my feeling is I’d rather just leave it and accept it isn’t perfect, but wondering if anyone else has any suggestions for a finish?
