        "text": "Baseboard height should correspond with your ceiling height to maintain balanced visual weight. For standard eight-foot ceilings, baseboards measuring between 3.5 and 5.25 inches look natural without overwhelming the space. For nine- to ten-foot ceilings or open-concept living rooms, taller baseboards between 5.5 and 7 inches provide proportionate presence. Choosing your baseboard thickness is also crucial if you have existing door casings; your baseboard should never be thicker than the door trim it butts into, unless you install plinth blocks.",
