What is installed above wainscoting depends on personal taste and interior design style, but the upper portion of the wall is most commonly finished with paint, wallpaper, or additional architectural molding. Many homeowners choose to paint the upper wall in a complementary or contrasting solid color, or apply subtle textured wall treatments such as grasscloth wallpaper or delicate botanical prints. Additionally, the boundary where the wainscoting ends and the upper wall begins is traditionally finished with a decorative chair rail molding, which provides a clean transition and serves as a natural anchor for hanging artwork, framed photographs, or sconce lighting.
