Baseboards are a standard component of every space but unless they’re noticeably terrible, they’re also forgettable. But to a creative DIYer like Drew Michael Scott of Lone Fox, this overlooked detail can be transformed into something that makes your home memorable—without major construction.
“Ripping out and replacing baseboards can seem really daunting, which is why I love my hack,” he says. Scott’s trick in a nutshell: He stacks a piece of trim either directly on top of an existing baseboard (or slightly higher) and then paints everything to make it all look cohesive. It’s a bit of an optical illusion for heightened architectural flair.
