Dado rails are a traditional wall feature that entails installing moulding horizontally along a wall or the whole room usually at chair height which is why they also go by ‘chair rails’ sometimes. Historically, they’ve been largely used in entryways – and in the past year or so, there’s been a major rise in the popularity of the hallway dado rail trend.
‘Dado rails’ are currently attracting over 5000% more Google searches compared to just a month ago and Google searches for ‘dado rail’ amount to at least 23,000 per month. And while dado rails work pretty much in any style of entryway, they make for a particularly great narrow hallway idea.
