An elongated, extruded, resilient plastic channel member has a flat rear wall for mounting to a vertical building wall and receives an elongated, precut carpet strip. The flat rear wall terminates at upper and lower longitudinal edges respectively in an integral, generally L-shaped lower wall and an integral, reversely directed, arcuate upper wall. Both project outwardly and away from the rear wall and define therebetween upper and lower slots receiving the upper and lower longitudinal edges of a decorative precut carpet strip whose width is sized to the slots and slidably inserted therein. The channel member rear wall is thickened adjacent the connection between the arcuate upper wall and the rear wall to resist flexing of the arcuate upper wall and to prevent release of the grip between the arcuate upper wall, at its free edge, and the pile of the carpet strip. Both the arcuate upper wall and the generally L-shaped lower wall terminate at free edges in right angle, inwardly directed lips which penetrate the carpet pile for maintaining the precut carpet strip in the inserted position and prevent vertical movement of the upper and lower edges of the carpet strip into and out of the respective upper and lower slots of the channel member. The channel member may be nailed, screwed or adhesively fixed at the rear surface of the rear wall to a vertical building wall, particularly functioning as a baseboard assembly with the precut carpet strip matching the floor carpet of the building structure.
