How Do You Put Up A Chair Rail On Painted Drywall?
Adding multiple layers of design elements creates interest. A chair rail can add elegance and dimension to a room. Place a chair rail to separate two wall colors, top wainscoting, or to simply add interest to a one-color wall. It is easier to hang chair rail on a wall that is simply finished drywall, with no wainscot or paneling. In a dining room, chair rail can also protect the walls when placed at a height that prevents chairs bumping into the drywall. This project is an easy and inexpensive way to add detail and warmth to a room. Decide the height you wish to install chair rail. Take into account any obstructions in the room such as windows, light switches or built-in furniture. Hang a small sample of the chair rail to determine if the proportions are correct. Check if the room is square. If the corners are not square, you can cut actual angles to fit, use wood putty filler or straight cut and butt the ends of the rail to a square block in each corner. Decide which way you will deal
