Space saver that's for sure. I would be constantly waiting for something to fall off.

I like it, I have a picture rail in my own home.

I think it can work depending on what is put up there and the room itself.

In this one, I think it looks like an afterthought, or lets put stuff up there.

Maybe the room is somewhat small and the walls too close to the bed. A little claustrophobic!

I have a plate rail in my kitchen. I would definitely do a picture rail in other rooms if I lived in a house with high ceilings.

I like it ...but I think about the cleaning.

I wouldn't want to have the added chore of dusting up there.

Yay. I have that in my kitchen which was already here. So I’m use to the look.

Since in this case, it's above the line of vision it would be difficult to see anything smaller than a big, bright poster. Items like photographs or small objects would be indistinguishable.

My current home has picture rail in the dining room, and my former house had a shelf (like the one shown in your picture) in our family room. I really liked it. We had a collection of German beer steins displayed on ours.

Makes for interesting pictures, but I don't want the look in my house.

I like it, although knowing my aversion for dusting, it's probably not the best idea for me! LOL!

It would be OK if you had higher ceilings. Otherwise I think it tends to close in tne room.

If I did have those, I would definitely put large sized things on it - so you could actually see the details, etc.

It makes the room seem smaller. I wouldn’t want to have to dust it either.

The ceilings in the room have to be high otherwise they make the room look smaller

I like picture rails and at almost any reasonable height.

Do.Not. Like.
I cannot appreciate the objects when I see this type of shelving in a home as I am too distracted by thoughts of how one cleans or doesn't clean this area. I also can never fully see anything up there.

In this particular photo, those pegs are odd...what use are they for erc.

I have one in my dining room, and it holds my small Longaberger baskets and Rowe pottery. It was the best thing about this house when we bought it.
