Thank you all sooooo much for these very helpful comments. It was actually my idea initially to shave a bit off the bed post but my bf argued against it.... ? Anyway, I will take all of this into consideration. There is a radiator at the opposite end hence why it doesn't fit flush, and I can't move the radiator anywhere else as I need the space for other things (it is a very tiny room). I'm sure I'll work it out. Thanks again!!

Hello everyone - I am very new to DIY so this is probably a silly question. I built a daybed for the box room at the weekend and it fits perfectly except for one corner. I've attached a picture. My question is, would it be ok to cut a piece out of the skirting board for the foot of the bed to slot into? And if so, what tools will I need for this? Thanks so much in advance ?
