2. Hide imperfections
   There are different situations when repairing. And if the master makes a mistake, connecting the walls and the floor, they can easily be covered with a plinth. It often happens that the wall is uneven and there is a gap between it and the floor covering. That's what the plinth is for. If the wallpaper on the wall, the plinth helps to hide their edges.

3. To hide the wires.
   Modern boards allow you not only to hide errors of repair, but also to hide unattractive cables. Few people like heaps of wires that stretch throughout the apartment, but without it can not do. In this case, the wires can simply be hidden. Practical, comfortable and aesthetic. Heating is also being built into the floors. The heating elements are placed under the plinth: both heat and looks neat. Also in the plinth is sometimes embedded lighting. The universal thing to say.

Despite all these features, the plinth is not an indispensable part of the interior. Honestly, you can do without it.

For example, if the floor is covered with carpet, then at the bottom of the wall you can make a strip of it. So the transition between the wall and the floor will be smooth, and the plinth will not be needed.

Same thing with tiles. It is unlikely that wooden or plastic plinth will go well with tile tiles. Therefore, the transition from floor to wall can be made from the same tile. Just cut it into small pieces and lay it on the bottom of the wall. Or buy a special small tile in tone.





The design and decoration of the house cannot be equal to any one standard. This is not to say that the house should have plinths or that it is high time to throw them out. Each apartment is individual. It all depends on the chosen coverage, quality of repair and personal preferences.

We believe that the plinth is quite functional and practical. If it fits into your design decisions, then feel free to add it to the interior. If for some reason you do not like him, then forget about it and do it your way. Good design for you!
