MichelleG Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Okay, if I'm going to put up a chair rail on the walls, (dividing two different wallpaper patterns), and the rooms are 9 inches tall, How far up should I place them?? I've tried eyeballing and looking at photos of other's dh's. I even asked down at the paint store. They said 3 feet, if the ceiling is 10 ft. I don't know how tall chairs are. And if there is a standard height for this. Anyone know exactly???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Here is a web site that tells you more than you want to know about chair rails in the "real world": http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/hi_walls_cei...3737665,00.html It looks like a general "rule of thumb" is that you divide the height of the wall by 3, and install the rail about 1/3 of the way up the wall.
