Home Improvement > Moldings & Wood Trim > How to Install Wainscoting and Chair Rail

Learn how to cut miter and scarf joints to install wainscoting, chair rails, baseboards, and quarter round molding.

Drive nails into the lower end of the plank in the wooden base plate of the wall framing. You will have more leeway in positioning these nails, because the baseboard that will cover them is wider than the chair rail.
