The use of wallpaper borders is quite common for any room of the house. A border is placed either through the middle of a wall or about three feet from the floor to separate the top of the wall from the bottom. There are many ways these accents can be used to add vitality to any room. If you have two colors of wall paper, then you can put one color on top and the other on the bottom, with the wallpaper border covering up the place where they meet. The fashion is to have a plain or striped pattern on the top and a flowered pattern on the bottom. You can also have the top portion of the wall painted and wallpaper on the bottom. The wallpaper border makes an attractive blend between the two styles.



Some people use wallpaper borders on their own to separate two different colors that they have painted their walls. Many people use them to give the appearance of a high wall by placing the border about a foot from the ceiling. There may or may not be two different colors involved, as this style looks nice with just the border.

Wallpaper borders are available in many different designs from ordinary to raised and etched patterns. There are types of borders that are white in color and can be painted whatever color you desire to match your d'cor. The width of the border also varies, but is generally about 8 inches.

Putting on wallpaper borders is not a difficult task. The back of the border has a glue that will stick to the wall or other paper when it is wet. There are also peel and stick borders that do not require any water. You just have to peel off the backing and attach the border to the wall. These borders are great because if you make a mistake, they are easy to remove and attach again.

You can find multiple kinds of wallpaper borders at the home d'cor center of any department and home improvement stores. There is usually a chart showing you how to match the wallpaper and the borders so that the color scheme will accentuate your home. Many of these stores also have qualified interior design specialists who can help you with any problems or questions you may have.
