Marupa Wood Baseboard: The Detail That Transforms Your Interiors
A Finish That Makes the Difference in Your Interior Trim
In the world of design and interior wood finishes, there are details that often go unnoticed… until they are missing. The baseboard (also known as skirting board) is one of them. It not only protects the bottom of the wall from scuffs and moisture, but also provides an aesthetic line that unifies the design of the entire space. Especially when choosing a wooden baseboard, this element adds the natural warmth that plastic versions can hardly imitate.
At Pacific Forest we know this well. That is why we have chosen to work with Marupa wood for our baseboards, an imported species native to Peru—lightweight, stable, and light-toned with no knots—perfect for creating elegant and welcoming environments in any interior design project.
“Marupa is a wood that does not compete with the design, it enhances it. It is lightweight, easy to work with, and adapts to any style.” – Technical Team at Pacific Forest.
