Dado rails advice
5 years ago
Hi,
We've just purchased a home that needs renovating throughout. The house had a very dated look but with some nice features. It has dado rails throughout every room (see pics below). I'm not a fan of dado rails but wondering if we can integrate them into a traditional but modern look (if that makes sense). For example, could they be incorporated with some panelling on the lower portion of the wall. I'd be interested to hear some ideas.
Thanks in advance

Have I messed up my dado rails?
Comments (6)Thanks for the comments guys, there are no spindles under the bannister going up the stair as it is backed purely by wall. The trouble with not having a rail going up is what colour to paint that wall? Would it be top or bottom colour? If you look at pic 2, without the rail there is no barrier between the two on that wall... so the staircase would be a different colour on the left than on the right?...See MoreDo you recognise this dado rail?

Comments (0)Hi my parents just moved into their new house . Dado rail in living room but as you can see the wall has a curve and the rail doesn’t. Lol what’s my options here ? Can you buy bendy dado rail or can a joiner put another one up that’s done in a way that it doesn’t look daft ? Thanks in advance...See Moredado rail in hall to break up wall?
Comments (33)thanks all! Would definately have to start it just past the 2nd step anyway due to the light switch. it's existing staircase and room @minnie101 but we just added the en-suite. It originally had the rail to the right on the short side so nothing on the return area. That's what I was wondering as well ie the return part - it's only one step down from the bedroom floor so technically shouldn't need a short rail there. Will measure it just up to the top main step then - wasn't sure if I could take it further up or if it would look odd. Shame as I saw a lovely anthracite metal rail but it only went to 2m! bah....See More
