Wallpaper Borders

Using wallpaper borders is something that can change the way a room looks completely. Wallpaper borders are made of the same materials and follow the same concept as regular wallpaper, but offer ease of installation along with only adding a little bit of decoration to the room. Your traditional wallpaper comes in 21 inch by 30 foot dimensions. Borders on the other hand range between 6 to 9 inches wide. Here is what should be known about the sizes available.

Wallpaper Borders that are 9 Inches or Larger

If you have a home that features really high types of ceilings, or if you are attempting to use a wallpaper border for the purpose of creating a chair rail in a room that is really large, then the best type of wallpaper border for you to use is going to be a wide one. If you are using a wide wallpaper border in a room that has seven foot tall ceilings or even lower ceilings, then the border is simply going to end up looking bulky or clumsy and out of place in the room which is not what you should be attempting to achieve when it comes to installing a wallpaper border in your home..

Wallpaper Borders that are smaller than 8 Inches

If you are looking for a way to add a wallpaper border to a room that is smaller, or if you are simply looking for some kind of small decorative flair that you can add to a room, then it would be wise for you to choose a smaller style of wallpaper border when redoing the room. The best type of wallpaper border for you to use in a room that is designated for a child is a six inch border. Many kitchens and many bathrooms are also going to look their absolute best when you choose to use a wallpaper border of this particular size. If you are installing a wallpaper border in a room where you would like the border to be a real focal point for the room, then choosing a slightly larger border may be in your best interest, but you should not go beyond around 7 inches or 8 inches, because otherwise you are simply dealing with something too bulky.

Keep in mind that the size of the wallpaper border that you choose is going to have a large impact on how the room is going to look overall. You do not want to have to uninstall a wall border because you made the wrong choice, so make sure that you explore your options and choose wisely when installing a wallpaper border in any room of your home.
