can you go without a trim in an apartment? Or is there something in lieu of a trim that could be used to avoid damage to the wall without installing a baseboard? Tia [ Reply | More ]

why don't you want to install a baseboard? You could use a very thin strip of vinyl or leather but it should be about 4" high. [ Reply | More ]

mainly because I don't like the look of it! But have to confess to not having fully investigated modern/clean/minimalist options. Everything I've seen so far is conspicuous, if that makes any sense. Also, why is it at least 4" high? Tia [ Reply | More ]

baseboard exists for a reason - covered w/oil based paint to easily clean our occasional foot scuffs & mopping stains. i worked in a firm that didn't use them and you could see the scuffed evidence everywhere along edge of floor, impossible to clean. if you don't like the traditional look, try a recessed board w/a thin reveal (although that's where your dust will gather and be impossible to clean without a q-tip).
