Hello, I am going to decorate my hall with modern pink colours and
divide them with
dado rail, but my neighbour told me that it is old-fashioned.
What do you think about it? Old-fashioned, good, bad?


Dado rails are very practical for rooms with higher ceilings, and for
hallways, as they make those long lengths of paper manageably shorter
!

It entirely depends on the style of house. For a Victorian or
Edwardian house they are fine, but for a 2000's loft apartment in
Docklands they may look a tad silly !

I agree with Andrew, but I have to pass on the memorable comment from my
(then) four year old boy to the lady houseowner on going into their house
and finding a new pink carpet.

Oh, you've got a pink carpet. (Pause). I like pink. (Longer pause). A bit
girly, though.
