To protect yourself legally please send a written request to attach a chair rail to the wall, offering to leave it whenever you leave, even if you don't plan on moving anytime soon (2 yrs.+) . Make sure you have written permission for whatever project you do that attaches to building! If you do not have written permission, no matter how high end, you could be financially responsible to ANY and ALL REPAIRS the owner deems necessary! DO NOT make the mistake of thinking your landlord / management company will not do what I've stated - They can & 90% will! That goes on your credit & renters referral !
First talk to your landlord to make sure it's okay. If your landlord says no, you'll need to find something that you can remove before you leave. To find something that won't make marks you could try Command 'hooks & loops' (like Velcro, but Command is thinner.) Test it first though because I think you might have gaps at the top. Another option might be faux chair railing. There are a lot of ideas on Pinterest, but this is the basic idea. Just use paint to make it look like a chair rail, then repaint before you leave. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/376402481329693716/
If your landlord is on board, here's an article that takes you through the process.
is your apartment rented? You might want to be careful about adding something that can damage walls; perhaps you can use a repositionable wall paper for an illusion of a rail?
A chair rail, also known as a dado rail, is a horizontal piece of trim that usually runs the perimeter of a room approx 36″ from the floor, but can also be awkwardly placed on a single wall. More importantly, ask your landlord if it is ok to do this.
Hi, you'll need a few simple tools to install chair rail such as a measuring tape, hammer, nails, miter box to do the corners, spackle, caulk, and paint. As others have noted, please ensure you have your apartment management (if you're renting) provide you written permission to do this to protect yourself from future financial issues.
