Project calculator
Overview
Burgundy is a dark red-pink with a pink undertone and a calculated LRV of 5.5. With SW Greek Villa trim the molding has strong, graphic contrast (contrast ratio 8.5:1).
Picture Frame layout on a 15 ft living room wall
Molding over the full wall height, upper and lower rows divided by a chair rail. On a 15 ft wall with an 8 ft ceiling this gives 6 frames per row, each 25.3 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 45.82 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 20 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. Center the layout on the sofa or TV rather than the wall when furniture is off-center.
Building the picture frame pattern
Each frame is four pieces of 2.5 cm molding with 45 degree miters. Set the frames out from the center of the wall, keep every gap equal, and let the margins at the corners match the gaps.
Painting molding in Burgundy
Pinks and reds feel warm and enclosing; keep the molding the same color or one shade lighter.

How much molding do I need for a 15 ft living room wall with picture frame frames?
About 45.82 m (150 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 20 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 6 frames per row, 25.3 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.
How high should the chair rail be in a living room?
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. Center the layout on the sofa or TV rather than the wall when furniture is off-center.
