Ask your QuestionShould a dado rail contrast the wall paint colour?
Asked by Greg on 30th May 2022"Should be a natural colour or varnished in a natural oak"
Answered on 6th Jun 2022 - Member since Jan 2021 - report"I think the best answer to this question is another question. Are you fond of the dado rail feature?
If you answer yes to that question then it should be picked out with a contrasting colour to the wall and if you are not keen on it but don't want the expense of having it removed then it should blend in with the background and match the wall colour."
"Hi Greg,
A dado rail divides the wall. It can have a contrasting colour or it can be the same colour as the wall. it depends on the look you are trying to achieve. It definitely gives the wall a bit of texture.

"This was why it was used from day 1 .
Rooms were painted two tones and Dado was put on to split tye contrast. 🙂"
"Not usually day for rails are picked out with the doorframe colour usually"

Answered on 31st May 2022 - Member since Feb 2016 - report"The original purpose of a dado rail was to act as a boarder to separate a lower darker colour from a lighter colour above or a wallpaper. The dado rail is usually in a colour similar to that of the lower colour or matches the woodwork"
