# hmm
i don't know how to respond to this. my house at home had them in the hall, up the stairs and in the breakfast room when my family moved in, but it's a post war house i think.
although my mam did have the one in the breakfast room removed (rather shoddily at first) when we moved in

# ^this
hideous and unsightly faux-wood rails around one's abode do nothing to enhance the beauty of the room.

# well rule of thumb
people with dado rail have spent twice as much on wall paper / paint on those who don't have a dodo rail
plus they're ugly!
(unless your house is an antique (like roverghists) then i'd recommend taking em down and burning your house - gas mark 4 for 30 minutes - turn after 15 minutes

# I love your logic
I had a dado rail in the sitting room in my last house in London but it was built in 1884 and belonged there.

My pet hate is those "lounges" (lordy I hate that word) who put a wallpaper strip thing (where the dado rail should go) and have patterned wallpaper above and plain colour below.
With matching dralon "lounge suite" and matching generic pictures on the wall.
