Sure you're all familiar with the quarter round beading that you use to cover the expansion gap after laying laminate floor. I know removing skirting would have been the best option however the walls aren't straight in this house and we were concerned about creating a lot of damage to the walls if we tried to pull off the existing quite large skirting boards.
So I am wondering if an alternative to the quarter round small beading is to use a larger moulding, perhaps 8-10mm thick and say 50mm high, effectively a skirting on the face of the existing skirting, painted in white the same as the skirting is.
My hope is that this wouldn't look like beading, but rather a unique double layer skirting.
I.e something like this:
