Most chair rails + wainscot I've seen nowadays are 2/3 the length of the wall from the floor. Personally, I think they look better that way. I don't know why though, but it might have something to do with the rule of thirds in visual arts? - anders Just like you said in your chairs and wainscoting post linked above, there’s no rule in how high a chair rail can be and that they’re mostly used for decorative purposes.

Maybe. It's tough to find the perfect balance, but the blog has a lot of helpful information on it so I hate to just take it down. One day I'll learn that I don't have to make an announcement everytime I have a new idea... Glad you're still here! A bad day huh? Maybe.

I love this look of tall waiscoting! Not sure where it would work in my house - I still can't really "see" around the flowery wallpaper! Oh, and upstairs we have dormer windows with the slanted ceilings - maybe it could go just to the slants. Hmm ... now I'm thinking ... :) HI! I love this look of tall waiscoting!
