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.
*realises she is on soap box and puts it away and shuts tfu'.
