Overview
Single rectangles of 2.5 cm molding, evenly spaced. The most adaptable layout: it works on short and long walls and in any room. Clean outlines that suit modern and transitional rooms.
Picture Frame layout on a 7 ft bathroom wall
Molding over the full wall height, upper and lower rows divided by a chair rail. On a 7 ft wall with an 8 ft ceiling this gives 3 frames per row, each 22.7 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 21.85 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 10 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. Use moisture-resistant polystyrene outside the shower spray zone and a bathroom-rated paint.
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.

How much molding do I need for a 7 ft bathroom wall with picture frame frames?
About 21.85 m (72 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 10 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 3 frames per row, 22.7 in wide, on an 8 ft ceiling.
How high should the chair rail be in a bathroom?
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. Use moisture-resistant polystyrene outside the shower spray zone and a bathroom-rated paint.
