Wallpaper Border

Wallpaper Borders - Now the Quickest and Easiest Way to Decorate and Accessorize the Home Decor
By Daniel P Elliott

With the onset of the spring season comes spring cleaning, home repairs, remodels, and a fresh coat of paint. While some of these tasks require a sizable amount of time and cost, there is another way to refresh the home without adding a large expense or mess. Wallpaper and borders have been around for generations.


It is typical to incorporate ladders, razors, seam rollers, sponges and a whole slew of other tools and gadgets in order to achieve professional results. An extra body has also been an inconvenient requirement. Most of these tools of the trade have not seen any new improvements. The old adage mostly holds true in this situation, "if it's not broken, don't fix it". However, there are a couple of techniques and new technologies which will invariably make quick and clean work of applying wallpaper borders.


Traditionally, cutting the wallpaper border to a more manageable length has always proven to be challenging to handle. When the individual does cut the border to a shorter length it just means seams are potentially more visible. Using newer technology available on the market today, a wallpaper border application tool actually eliminates the need for getting tangled up in the border while standing precariously on a ladder.


A wallpaper border tool allows the home owner to apply the border in a few minutes rather than in excess of a half hour. By self dispensing wallpaper border from a roll, the tool conveniently and safely holds the entire border section. When it becomes necessary to relocate the ladder or foot stool, the tool is quickly and easily secured to the wall temporarily giving the home owner added safety by preventing the need to stretch while on the ladder or foot stool. There are several websites that illustrate the use of seam rollers, proper hanging techniques, and the process of hanging wallpaper borders under the search terms of "Wallpaper Border Hanging Tool".



What once was a two person job or an incredibly frustrating job for one individual, one person can now accent each and every room of the average sized home in short order. Even though the wallpaper border application tool condenses a time consuming and difficult task, ladder safety always needs to be followed. Never stand on the top or highest rung of an A-frame ladder. Following ladder safety will reduce the chances of a serious accident and allow the home owner to enjoy a job well done.
