Tips for wainscoting dining room

6 years ago

I’m currently in the planning stages of adding wainscoting to my dining room. I’ve done a ton of research on how to figure out the proper size boxes, stile, chair rail height, etc. I am doing just the basic framed boxes. There is one corner of the room where I am just stumped and can’t seem across any advice to solve it. I have wall space where the window is about 13 inches from the corner.

Do I put a small box in the space? Do I make an “L” shaped box to continue below the window? I’ve seen both in my google searches but not sure which look I prefer or is proper. Leaving it empty and just starting a box below the window is an option as well but not sure I like that look at all. I took a few photos of the space. I currently have drafted out roughly 19” boxes with 3” stile. Of course each wall won’t have the exact same size as the wall is different lengths of the walls.

Any tips appreciated
