Hi everyone,
We are finally getting close to setting up our kitchen. We have kept the existing floor covering (chipboard tiles) and plaster with 2mm grain on the walls (see picture). Since the walls are not all straight and the floor is also uneven, we need a solution for the baseboards.
So far, I have found flexible baseboards to stick on, but we don't like them, and since the baseboards are located, among other places, in a heavily used passage, we want a "nice" solution. Does anyone know a good alternative or way to cover the transition between the floor & the wall?

As an alternative, the classic white baseboards (wood or similar) that you also use with parquet.

Does this work with an uneven wall and uneven floor? We have some places in the house where the previous owner installed the typical baseboards and they either come loose from the wall or the acrylic/silicone joints are huge.

@"Kirschkugel":
Uneven wall surfaces as well as floor surface flatness exceeding limit values do not fall under a "standard-compliant", thus not state-of-the-art basis, upon which a subsequently installed (specialist) trade conforming to the technical rules can be built.
Either the substrate is leveled, or one must come to terms with the idea that at least prefabricated elements (such as base tiles or baseboards) cannot be used here.
That base elements detach again from the wall surfaces is a completely different issue.
Its cause(s) is communicated to us by the fracture zone and, if applicable, also fracture depth, which we find on the reverse side of the detached wall or base elements.
Therefore, there is no standard solution to your problem area!

I wouldn’t know a solution here either. You just have to live with the gaps. It’s the same throughout our house. You eventually stop noticing it:cool:.

We actually took "normal" wooden baseboards and fixed them with assembly adhesive... holds quite well and we sealed the gaps with acrylic, which also worked well. How it will work in the long run remains to be seen but yes, probably you won't notice it anymore after a while.
