Use Shoe Moulding in Tile Bathroom / Kitchen?
Comments (1)We did, to make the trim match throughout the house. About the only place we didn't add shoe molding was in closet interiors....See MoreYour kitchen hardwood floors: shoes off or shoes on? I want to know!
Comments (54)Hardwood throughout my entire first floor, including the kitchen and all entry areas. Residents don't wear shoes in the house. Human residents, nor furry ones. :) Visitors are not given any rules upon arrival. :) Most people see you walking around in bare feet, or socks, or slippers, and immediately move to take off their shoes. Depending upon who they are and why they are there, I often tell them don't bother. For instance, if it's the HVAC guy and he's going to work in the cellar, I couldn't care less if he keeps his shoes on. As someone noted upthread, the nice thing about hardwood is that it does clean up very easily. I prefer the residents keep shoes off the floor b/c it does keep the floors cleaner, but there is no way I would ever make a guest remove their shoes. As far as damage - most of the damage to my floor comes from the toenails of the 20 pound furry lunatics who share my home. Yes I keep them short - no lectures on appropriate dog nail procedures please! They are young and love to run and play - nails dig in on cornering no matter how short they are. :) However there has been some damage from people in shoes who had rocks stuck in the treads. Most of it from the early days when the house was under construction because sadly my GC was an inconsiderate moron regarding things like this. TL:DR. It's hardwood. It dents. I do what I can to keep the dents to a minimum but don't stay up at night about it either....See MoreShoe or no shoe in tile entryway near wooden floor
Comments (5)I would call it personal preference. I don't like shoe molding, probably from the hours I've spent scrubbing them and still feeling like they look dirty. Having the shoe for the wood section end at the transition wouldn't bother me, but what matters is would it bother you? On the other hand, having a crooked edge where the tile meets the wall would bother me every day. What is the plan to make that edge look tidy if you don't go with shoe molding?...See Moreplace to source shoe molding for kitchen island
Comments (3)Maybe you can figure out the cabinet line & order moldings for an exact match. Some cabinets have a logo in the drawers or a sticker hidden within. That would be ideal if you could remember the brand or contact the people you bought the cabinets from previously. Most cabinet places will sell just moldings. That piece looks like scribe molding on side. If got to shop around, maybe you can find a hidden place to pop off a piece to bring around to find an exact match before you buy....See Moreplllog
