Back when walls were made of plaster, chair rails were installed to protect the walls from getting damaged by chairs. Today chair rails are used to add a decorative touch to a room. They help to break up a wall that is otherwise bland and boring. Many people will paint the bottom of the wall and the top a different color, or just paint it all one color and break it up with the chair rail.

If you have 8 foot walls, they should be installed at 36" from the top of the chair rail to the floor.
