3D simulator room
Château grand salon
A grand salon with a 3.80 m ceiling, dressed in varnished oak from floor to ceiling: bolection panels, overmantel, coffered ceiling.
Château grand salon, in detail
Château grand salons embrace panelling over the full height. Grand skirting, dado rail and bolection panels in strong relief make up fully panelled walls, with each panel aligned to the French windows and the fireplace.
In varnished oak, the whole takes on a warm tone echoed by the coffered ceiling. Smoked Versailles parquet and lamplight complete the atmosphere of a reception room.

Why the dado rail sits at this height
- Proportion used: 36% of 380 cm gives 137 cm (an exact third would be 127 cm).
- Capped at 115 cm: under a tall ceiling, the rail stays at dado height and the upper panels take up the extra height.
