Board & Batten questions

[Ramz-ee]

I want to put up board & batten in my entrance way similar to the picture below. There is a return air vent that is on the main wall that is rather large and I will incorporate that into the empty space so you don't know it's even there. Problem is there is really only one wall where I could have full board & batten. The other walls are not wide enough to even attempt it. 

My question is, should I just do the one wall? Or should I include the top chair rail all the way around the area and paint the wall white to match the full board & batten on the main wall?

Can you pip the space?

If you do 1 wall, I prefer it look functional (eg have hooks for hanging like a mudroom).

I do want to put hooks for hanging things. 

I will get a picture of the space to post.
