Wainscoating proportions

[potato80]

Hi all

I'm doing some wainscoat panelling in a room. MDF-backing panel, and then attaching moulding rectangles, so it looks like the attached picture.

Question: how should I determine the proportions of the moulding rectangles across two different length walls?

Wall A is 3.4m
Wall B is 2.2m

Should I make the moulding rectangles all the same size, and simply decrease or increase the space between the them?

Or should I make the proportions of the moulding rectangles the same, depending on the wall? I.e.

If Wall A is 3.4m then each panel is 520mm
If wall B is 2.2m then each panel is 444mm

Hope that's clear (!)

Make them proportional. Having different sizes of panel borders isn't how it's done in timber and can therefore look a bit odd.

Cheers. Having mapped it out on the wall, the answer now seems obvious!
