How do you Feel About Picture Rails?

or shelves for art, like in this bedroom?

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.
