While decorating the living room, I've noticed that the architrave and skirting are different profiles. It seems that the architrave is the torus profile, and the skirting board is ogee. Oddly, it's taken about ten years for me to notice this, but now that I have, I can't help wondering if someone's messed up. It's all hard wood in very good condition, but if one is to be replaced, I guess now is the time to do it. Is it normal to have them different? I'd have thought you'd normally have them the same, but I know nothing about skirting board conventions.
