There are many ideas and methods to decorate taller rooms using visually enhancing methods. Which ideas you apply in your dining room depends upon many factors such as
1) Existing decorating theme of your dining room.
2) Existing decorating theme of the entire home
3) Amount of natural light coming inside the dining space
4) How open is the dining space.
When a dining room is taller in height the adjacent walls consume a lot of volume and the entire dining volume becomes big. While decorating such big spaces it becomes necessary that enough respect is given to smaller decorating elements like wall finishes, and accessories used on them.
To define an identity to such taller room one simple idea is to use a chair rail molding that runs along the periphery of the dining room. This chair rail normally is used to protect wall finished from getting damaged because of chair backrests touching the walls and spoiling the color paint or the wall paper.
But alternatively it is used to form the proportions in a taller room. According to chairrailzone.com the height of the chair rail from the finished floor level is good at 30 inches. At this height the chair rail molding is visible and helps visually define the upper and the lower portions of the taller walls effectively.
One more advantage of using the molding at this height is that you can have different fishes for both upper and lower sections creating interest in the dining space. Chair rails can be even painted in the end to visually blend with the rest of the interior design theme of the dining room.
Normally if the dining rooms are taller, then they are bigger in floor area as well. In such cases the height below the chair rail is used to store cutlery that can be either used or even just displayed using glass cabinets.
