Wall molding linear-foot estimate

Estimate for rectangular molding frames.

Estimated quantity68.42 linear feet

Divide by 7.87 ft (240 cm stick) and round up for the number of sticks.

Formula & assumptionsframe_count * 2 * (frame_width_inches + frame_height_inches) / 12 * (1 + waste_percent / 100)

Assumes identical rectangular frames. The waste allowance is editable. The estimate does not optimize cuts or include separate rails, baseboards, or other trim.

Overview

Burgundy is a dark red-pink with a pink undertone and a calculated LRV of 5.5. Against white trim the contrast ratio is 9.03:1, which gives strong, graphic contrast; painted tone-on-tone, the double frame pattern shows only through its shadow lines.

Double Frame layout on a 8 ft kitchen wall

Molding over the full wall height, upper and lower rows divided by a chair rail. On a 8 ft wall with an 8 ft ceiling this gives 3 frames per row, each 26.7 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 42.36 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 18 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. Keep molding off the backsplash area and use a scrubbable paint finish.

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 Burgundy

Pinks and reds feel warm and enclosing; keep the molding the same color or one shade lighter.

Questions

How much molding do I need for a 8 ft kitchen wall with double frame frames?

About 42.36 m (139 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 18 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 3 frames per row, 26.7 in wide, on an 8 ft ceiling.

Is Burgundy warm or cool?

Burgundy has a pink undertone and reads as a dark red-pink. Its calculated LRV is 5.5, so it absorbs light, so tone-on-tone molding reads as deep relief.

Should trim be the same color as Burgundy walls?

Painting the molding the same color gives a modern, tone-on-tone finish where only shadows show the pattern. White trim adds strong, graphic contrast (9.03:1), and black trim gives 1.64:1.

How high should the chair rail be in a kitchen?

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. Keep molding off the backsplash area and use a scrubbable paint finish.
