added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to How to Size Interior Trim for a Finished Look
The 7 percent solution. When sizing a baseboard in a traditional-style home, a good starting point is to use a ratio of 7 percent. So if your ceiling height is 8 feet high, try a baseboard that's about 7 inches tall.

That's exactly what I was thinking! But I think the flat style is more appropriate for what I am trying to accomplish. I think just the flat board and no shoe molding. I am so use to adding the shoe molding after the base is already installed and the customer doesn't want to remove it to save money. But I have to admit it looks very nice in this application!! I could add it and leave the top plain my wood floors are white wire brush which allows the natural wood to come through,
