I understand how to do it on the level surfaces, its the stairs that is perplexing to me.

]]> By: Kristi G https://www.snazzylittlethings.com/diy-wainscoting-tutorial/#comment-42246 http://snazzylittlethings.com/?p=2167#comment-42246 can you please send me the two materials used for the top layer/ chair rail. I’ve looked everywhere and trout all of your comments, but can’t seem to find the right combination. I love how it looks and it is so much better than single standard chair rail moulding. would loveee your help.
Thanks

Our stairs are partially enclosed halfway up just as these are. Can you tell me if you added wainscoting to the wall on the same side as the hand rolling? Do you have a picture of how you did that?? Thank you

I was wondering if the measurements are the same for the sideway design going up the stairs and the only difference is that the boxes are sideways?

Hi Paige, I also replied to you via email but just in case — we started at the outside corner and measured back towards the stairs.

Thanks

We are currently working on this project and trying to figure out what look we want for the top. Can you tell me what size / type of trim you added to the chair rail? Thank you so much!

Awesome! And thank you! We owe readers a crash course on how to measure up the stairs, I see you’re a subscriber (welcome!) so once we have that done I will email it out. We are making mini tutorials on TikTok (@snazzylittlethings) and I’ll tell my husband we need to model this for readers so we can show you how we did it (this project is from our previous house so we can’t show you the exact wall in the picture).

Keep in mind we did the hallway first with a lot of unfinished corner cuts until we mustered up the knowledge on doing the stairs. Minor mistakes on your cuts can be filled with caulk and spackle which saved our project. Making a template using a scrap piece of trim or wood is one quick way to get your stair mitre cuts figured out. You can mark the chair railing height (pencil) on the wall at the bottom / middle / top of stairs. Use a scrap piece of trim with a laser level and mark your scrap and use this to cut your stair pieces. I’ll also admit the math can be hard so we are big into making templates. Plus our walls were very wavy (and we did this in 2012 so some of our measurements now are from memory since we sold this house).

I need to show up for readers in a more personal way (video, lives) so I’ll be figuring out a plan to do this soon!

You did an amazing job! Can you please explain how to do the measurements and angles going up the stairs? I’ve been contemplating a similar project, but keep getting hung up trying to plan out the stairs. I’ve recently given myself a crash course in miter cuts and moulding, and I’m slowly collecting the proper tools, but math has never been my strong suit. Any tips or tutorials on how to measure wainscoting angles up the stairs would be most appreciated!!

Deirdre, you will LOVE the results. I’m updating the post now with new links to products that will help you duplicate our same method. Thank you I will email you once it’s updated!
