Picture Rails
Picture rails are a classic feature that brings both functionality and charm to any room. Installed just below the ceiling, these decorative mouldings allow you to hang pictures, artwork, and mirrors without damaging walls, creating a flexible display space that can easily be changed. Beyond their practical use, picture rails add a refined, architectural detail that enhances the character and elegance of your space.
At Colonial Wall Linings, we specialise in high-quality picture rails that align with your design vision. Our collection offers reliable options crafted for both style and durability, making Colonial Wall Linings the ideal choice for all your picture rail needs.

Benefits of Picture Rails
Picture rail mouldings offer several benefits, making them a popular choice in both traditional and modern interiors:
- Wall Protection: Picture rails are perfect for picture-hanging systems. They allow you to hang art, mirrors, and wall decorations without drilling holes into the walls, preventing damage and keeping your walls intact.
- Versatility: Picture rails are flexible, as they enable easy repositioning or swapping of artwork without leaving marks or needing to patch up holes. This makes them ideal for changing displays or galleries.
- Aesthetic Appeal: As a decorative element, picture rails add a touch of architectural elegance and sophistication to a room. They can complement both classic and contemporary interior styles.
- Preserving Wall Integrity: Hanging pictures and art using a picture rail system avoids direct contact with wallpaper or delicate wall treatments, preserving their appearance and longevity.
- Heightened Visual Interest: Placing the rail high on the wall, often near the ceiling, creates a balanced look, enhancing the room’s proportions and adding a layered visual effect.
- Easy Installation: Picture rails are straightforward to install, making them an accessible option for homeowners and renovators seeking an elegant yet simple feature.
- Historical Charm: Picture rails have historical significance, particularly in Victorian-style homes, offering a timeless aesthetic that can evoke a sense of tradition and craftsmanship.
- Functional & Practical: The picture rail is not only decorative but also functional, providing an easy way to hang and switch up artwork without the need for additional picture-hanging hardware like hooks, screws, or nails in the wall.
