I love the chrome/glass shelf. The room I would like to put it in has a chair rail all the way around . My feeling is that it wouldnt work but wanted some advice. »
Manon Floreat I think it can work, but will take some effort to pull it off. For example, you could paint the chair rail the same color as the wall so that the railing "disappears". You could remove the chair rail. You could also make a design "statement" with it by framing the shelf with moulding that matches the chair rail - you'd have to remove the chair rail behind the shelf, though. A mirror behind it would be dramatic.
For a similar look, you could consider glass and chrome floating shelves pleasingly arranged above the railing.
karen paul interiors I have no problems with chrome and glass with a room sporting a chair rail. So, is your question about chrome and glass vs a more traditional feeling? Is it because the shelves on the unit may not fall in the right spot with regard to the chair rail? Frankly, I love any room that thinks outside the box. I am curious as to your thinking and your reluctance as well.
The couple's main source of inspiration for the apartment was the great light that came in from four south-facing windows. According to Killy, "[the windows] helped blur the fact that we lived in a small New York apartment on a busy street by making us feel like we were a little more connected with the outdoors. We built on that by having plants hanging everywhere."
If there aren't any doors on the closets, hide the mess by installing a curtain rod and a pair of curtains. Go for a color or pattern that ties together with the bedding or rug to bring the design full circle.
The in-room bar to the left? Probably best to skip that little design detail for now.

Try that. West Elm has several that would give you this kind of look.
