Overview
Two parallel outlines 1.5 in apart, so each frame reads as one wide molding. It looks heavier than a single frame without a bigger profile. A bolder outline when a single 2.5 cm frame looks too light.
Double Frame layout on a 12 ft dining room wall
Molding over the full wall height, upper and lower rows divided by a chair rail. On a 12 ft wall with an 8 ft ceiling this gives 5 frames per row, each 24 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 67.17 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 28 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. Check that the chair rail clears chair backs, usually 32 to 36 in.
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.

How much molding do I need for a 12 ft dining room wall with double frame frames?
About 67.17 m (220 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 28 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 5 frames per row, 24 in wide, on an 8 ft ceiling.
How high should the chair rail be in a dining 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. Check that the chair rail clears chair backs, usually 32 to 36 in.
