Project calculator
Overview
BM Chantilly Lace (OC-65) is a white with a neutral undertone and a calculated LRV of 91.5 (published LRV 90). Against white trim the contrast ratio is 1.02:1, which gives almost no contrast, so the molding reads through shadow alone (a tone-on-tone look); painted tone-on-tone, the double frame pattern shows only through its shadow lines.
Double Frame layout on a 10 ft office wall
Molding over the full wall height, upper and lower rows divided by a chair rail. On a 10 ft wall with an 8 ft ceiling this gives 4 frames per row, each 25 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 54.76 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 23 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. A molding wall behind the desk doubles as a video-call backdrop.
Building the double frame pattern
The inner outline sits 1.5 in inside the outer one. Cut a 1.5 in spacer from an offcut and use it at every corner so the two lines stay parallel.
Painting molding in BM Chantilly Lace
Whites show molding through shadow only, so side light (a window or wall sconce) brings the pattern out. Use satin on trim and eggshell on the wall to add a slight sheen difference.

How much molding do I need for a 10 ft office wall with double frame frames?
About 54.76 m (180 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 23 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 4 frames per row, 25 in wide, on an 8 ft ceiling.
Is BM Chantilly Lace warm or cool?
BM Chantilly Lace has a neutral undertone and reads as a white white. Its calculated LRV is 91.5, so it reflects a lot of light and keeps molding shadows soft.
Should trim be the same color as BM Chantilly Lace walls?
Painting the molding the same color gives a modern, tone-on-tone finish where only shadows show the pattern. White trim adds almost no contrast, so the molding reads through shadow alone (a tone-on-tone look) (1.02:1), and black trim gives 15.15:1.
How high should the chair rail be in a office?
About one third of the ceiling height: 32 in on an 8 ft ceiling, 36 in on 9 ft and 40 in on 10 ft. A molding wall behind the desk doubles as a video-call backdrop.
