Struggling to know what to buy to create the high skirting detail in the attached photo, if someone could help explain what I need to buy from the shop that would be very helpful! Thanks in advance

I'd say tongue and groove paneling with a profiled trim on top.

Quick google search:https://justmdf.co.uk/product/v-grove-wall-panels-unprimed-full-size-board/

(But a local interior builder or carpenter with a table saw and router can easily make such for you.)

You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet..

hello bonnielynn75 and THANK YOU! your comment put a smile on my face re the red on the interior side of the door. It IS red on the inside as well, he insisted on that when we purchased it. no one here has it red on the inside and I wanted it to be white on the inside. do you see my dilemma?;) I agree with everything you are saying, I suppose this is the reason why so far I was not 100% sure about the black for the door either, although I like black...Agree, there is too much wall and I find the house to be looking a bit 'bland' and would like to change that. I LOVE shutters, but read somewhere that you never put shutters on wide windows, so got unsure about that, too...but perhaps just the one as I stated earlier. Would the color on that shutter be the same as the door (if I ever settle on a door color)? Unfortunately window boxes are not an option as we have quite a few cats and they may be used as litter boxes;) please don't tell me to get rid of the cats;)... Regarding the stoop (entrance) : we need to add another step (made of cement) on top of the existing step: it was removed when the new door was fitted. We were thinking of putting slate tiles or something dark to match the roof, if that makes any sense.... It is porous cement so unsuitable for painting, I think. What place in Ireland did you visit, we are close to the Irish Sea in the country surrounded by sheep;)...

Hi. Post this on Design Dilemmas and you will probably get more feedback. More pics, too, of the other areas that you are having problems with.

Hey Briony!

Ooo this is my passion - dependant on budgets this company goes all the way up to 400mm height which is is tall. I would always recommend contacting them just to clarify what the exact design looks like, because all images are much shorter and you would want to see the profile.

Another option would be somewhere a bit different: https://www.periodmouldings.co.uk/c/skirting-boards/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw48-vBhBbEiwAzqrZVC-9KP-hA5jcowhy5crAU1g_CyzA2sv14pUoK3RQkDcRpbI3JMbQQBoCHk8QAvD_BwE

They would design something incredibly bespoke for you.

Good luck and happy renovating!

We had to remove some tall Edwardian skirtings and discovered they were two skirtings joined together, decorative at the top with a failrly plain base board. You might need to build out any architrave to accomodate the added thickness.

Your picture is more like low panelling rather than a skirting board. Looks bespoke and quite unusual. You can easily copy it by attaching sheets of wood or MDF to the wall via battens and then place an edging strip on top. Edging, such as you get for picture rails etc, are available at most diy stores or online.
