Dear friends, do you know how to decorate a chair rail in the daily life? As we know, the right decorations for a chair rail can turn the rail from a plain protective strip to a focal point in the room. Traditionally, chair rails are placed to protect paint or wallpaper from scarring by chairs pressing against the wall. Some rails are carved from wood and nailed up, while others are made from a strip of wall paper or paint. Whatever the type of chair rail, decorating it can enhance the appearance of the room. Cut Mirrors Mirrors give the illusion of additional space in a room. Even the smallest of reflective surfaces can add light to brighten a room. Mirrors are cut to order in strips or shapes by professional glass companies. Veteran craftsmen cut their own from large plain mirror pieces. Choose a shape to complement your room. Triangles do not go well with square tile or round accents. Choose a shape that is prominent in the room. For example, for a wood slat floor, choose rectangles or long strips. Decide on the spacing for the mirror pieces. For a lot of reflection, place the pieces close together. If you want a simple addition, separate the pieces by a foot or more. Attach the pieces with an appropriate adhesive. Hot glue works well for painted or wall paper strips. Use epoxy glues to attach to wood. Mosaic Tiles Small granite tiles are often used to create mosaic art. Combining different colors of the same size tile creates patterns and even pictures. Use this concept to decorate a plain chair rail. Mosaics are often accented with a singular odd color tile. When selecting the tiles for the project, consider various shades of the primary color of the room and one off-beat color. The project may be time-consuming, so plan accordingly. Consider arranging the tiles in the pattern of choice on the floor below the chair rail prior to application. Place the tiles on the rail one at a time, using the adhesive appropriate for the surface. Push the tiles tightly together on the rail to disallow for spaces. Carved Wood Often, chair rails are made of basic wood trim with rounded or smoothed edges. In the instance of wooden rails, consider carving. For the unskilled wood craftsman, this may require professional assistance. Carve shapes to replicate patterns already in use in the room. For a room decorated with roses or fruit, consider cutting these shapes out of the wooden rails. Mimic square tiles from the flooring or prints from curtains. Finally, let me have a conclusion.
