The strip (12) is provided for facilitating the decoration of a skirting board (11) that is abutted by a floor covering (13). The strip (12), which is of a width substantially less than the height of the skirting board (11), extends along the skirting board with its upper and lower longitudinal edges at levels respectively above and at least as low as the upper surface of the floor covering (13). The strip (12) is either decoratively maintenance-free or removable for decoration. When redecorating the skirting board (11), the latter need only be painted (or otherwise treated) down to the level of the strip (12) as this strip now serves to define the lower visible boundary of the skirting board (11). As a result, the risk of the floor covering (13) being accidentally painted is minimised. The strip (12) itself either does not require decorating or else can be removed for painting. <IMAGE> |
