Borders And Applying Them On WallsThis particular accent can complete a room or living area. There are so many styles and varieties to choose from today. Having worked in a business that sold thousands of different patterns, I wanted to share with you three different ways to incorporate this decorating accent. You can apply borders to a painted wall, over wallpaper, and even on paneling. There are some simple steps to take in each of these situations. This page will give you the basics to get your project off the ground. Let start off with painted walls. ![]() Once the walls are washed, primed and painted, to me this becomes the fun part, picking out a border that can bring out a theme, and also match colors in your base foundation, accents and accessories. Lets start with the basics. Most borders today come with a pre-pasted back. What this means is the paper has already been treated with a paste or glue to help adhere to the walls. Most come in fifteen feet rolls, but it can vary in lengths and also widths depending on the company. Once the walls are painted and fully dried, go ahead and start this final project. You will need:
The powder mixture works well with just adding water. Apply the paper and use your putty knife to smooth out the paper. The seam roller is great for butting up the seams. If fifteen feet is too much for you to handle at one time, you can cut it into two or three pieces. Make sure you have a ruler and a good pair of scissors. Whether you do the fifteen feet all at once or in sections, take your time and just make sure the paper is smooth and the seams are tight. This project doesn't have to be complicated. Putting borders over wallpaper is done the same way except I use a different paste. There are thicker pastes available today just for this type of project. The paste is white and looks and feels like glue. It will hold your border very well against the wallpaper. Use it sparingly so you don't have an extra mess to clean up. Once you have done this step, you have a choice to put a liner along the area you will be bordering. This will help with secure and level the paper correctly. There are so many different choices available. Whatever your theme or color combination may be, picking out borders should reflect your own personality of the room. Research what is available today and find this particular accent for your room, and take your interior decorating to a new and exciting level!
