That's a good question. I'll be interested in hearing what others have to say on the matter. As I look at my 8 ft ceilings, part of me would go 1/3 up from the floor. But then, I wonder if going 2/3 - 3/4 up wouldn't lend some height to the room. I suppose it might also depend on the room.

I also think it's a good question. I was all thinking of using beadboard in my mudd room. Someone suggested to go up to ceilling but I'm thinking it may be too much. What do you guys think?
Thanks for sharing this photo. I love the look and also the idea of the hooks.
