I am replacing the baseboards and wall casings. I already have existing chair rails in my home. Do I have to match the width of the wall casings to the width of the chair rail? I have heard that you don't, but still not sure.

Most of the chair rails that I have seen are rather narrow to try to match the dimensions of some door casings. Decorating is a matter of personal taste. I would not fret overmuch about this.
