dining chairs low back image
rfxdwg01
in a dining room? under the window sill or above? should the color match the wood flooring or the crown molding?
Answer
Both first 2 are correct. I'm adding bead board to my home at the moment and have no real concern about chairs damaging walls. Mine is 36 inches off floor level with a cap molding for aesthetics.
Wainscoate is primarily used decoratively lately.
The height is NOT standard, and at your discretion you can divide the walls as you wish. Certainly a balance is important, IE: a chair rail too low will look obviously strange.
If you happen to have 8 ft ceilings divide them equally, or do the molding for the purpose in its original design, depending on the height of any furniture that will bump the walls. Every home has windows that differ from the home across town. The window isn't the object of the installation however. Too high will look awkward as well.
Color Choice: No right or wrong answers will be given here. It's a personal choice, much like religion or politics. Personally I don't always add a 3rd color to a wall with molding. I do this often in my work and usually carry the lower wall color to the molding, allowing especially that it may be darker than the color that runs to the ceiling. The truth is that whatever FITS into YOUR plan, and allows a comfort zone, is how you should proceed. Certainly too there are obvious factors to consider, such as complimentary colors butting against each other,,,OR MILD TO WILD if the ROOM dictates that. The room,,,in any case, should be a place you feel OK in, and not strictly be distracted by a "rainbow" of variations. That doesn't say you have to be BLAH.

I want to put a step/s up in my dining room to help seperate it from the living room. A sunken room look?

I am going for the sunken in room appearance (in the living room). Both rooms are currently hardwood floors. Would it look okay to get rid of hardwood in DR and put carpet to lower cost ? Would I need to add a railing(or would it look better w/o)?How many steps would be appropriate?
Answer
Getting rid of hardwood will seriously devalue the property and make it more awkward for potential inhabitants an our rapidly aging population. Furnishing with taller (high-backed) chairs in the dining room and lower furniture in the living room area will give the illusion of different levels.
