How Do You Use Wood Trim Under A Chair Rail?
Dressing up your home with decorative wood trim is a wise investment. Crown moldings, chair rails, thick baseboards, casings, panels and other trims all add a layer of detail to a house that people notice. When your house is nicely trimmed in keeping with the style of the house, it will feel charming and complete. Trims are often painted or stained to contrast with wall and ceiling colors. This brings another color layer to a room and adds to the decor and style. Dining rooms in traditional style homes will often feature chair railings.
