Red Wallpaper Border



R D House Wallpaper Borders


I want to talk about my favorite of all wallpaper borders. Basically, it is my favorite because it has a simple design and easy to coordinate look that goes with almost any decor. Basically, all you have is a house on a field that stands alone. There are different kinds of this border which differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Still, they all have the same basic theme.

If you are planning on using red house wallpaper borders for your walls, I suggest you have a room that is very American. Use a lot of reds, whites, and blues. It might seem a little strange but for the most part, you will be getting a red house that stands on grass. You will want some kind of matching to occur between your room and that border. I recommend you try and blend that border with the rest of the room by placing a few paintings of landscapes on the walls as well.

To purchase this wall paper, you can trust many different internet companies. One of the best I have found doesn't even have its own site. A small family owned company operating off of E-bay sells the red house border for only $8.00. I think you can really trust that they will send you everything you need relatively quickly.

So, if you are looking for something to compliment your western style room, look no further than the simple, eye pleasing, red house wallpaper border. I told you what kind of room you could use it in, what decor you should have, where to buy it, and for how much. Now it's all up to you to make the decision.

Creating a Baby Boys Nursery


Congratulations! You're going to have a baby boy! As soon as you get the news, it's normal to start brainstorming about how you will decorate your infant son's bedroom or nursery. Where do you even begin? There are a few good starting points that can make the process easy.

If the bedroom or nursery has recently been freshly painted and you don't want to paint again, designing a boy's bedroom around the existing paint color is an easy way to start. Identify the main colors in the room and select one or two coordinating or deliberately contrasting colors. In a room painted light blue, for instance, you could choose navy and royal blue as coordinating colors, or you could pick green and white for contrast. With the chosen color scheme in mind, look at baby crib bedding sets that would accentuate these colors.

On the other hand, if the room needs new paint, or if the room is already a neutral color like white, your options are wide open. Then it's fun to start out shopping for baby crib bedding sets you really love as your starting point. Select one or two main sets to outfit the crib, and then design your babys bedroom around the colors, patterns, or themes prevalent in those linens.

Starting out with a particular theme in mind, such as cars and trucks, sailboats, puppies, or fire trucks is also a great way to begin. Use your preferred theme to select baby crib bedding sets. Then paint the walls or woodwork to coordinate with the colors in the bedding and theme. You can even add a wallpaper border, stencils, or cutouts on the walls to match the theme you choose.

Finally, paint, stain, or purchase furnishings and accessories to match the colors, style, and theme selected. Get creative and add color and contrast with lampshades, rugs, and curtains. Select framed prints or knickknacks to give the room some added pizazz.

You can use traditional little boy themes, like trains, baseball, and cowboys since it's easy to find baby crib bedding sets with sports prints or mottos and traditional themes. Masculine color selections such as blue, green, and brown are also good choices, as are bold primary colors like red, blue, and yellow. Stripes, polka dots, geographic shapes, and animal prints (like zebra, giraffe, and tiger stripes) make fantastic, more modern options.

For parents who are partial to a more modern exciting theme, take a walk on the wild side by painting the room a medium shade of vibrant blue with white woodwork and trim. Deck out the crib with giraffe or zebra print baby crib bedding sets. Then accessorize with giant green jungle, like foliage stenciled on the walls, stuffed monkeys or elephants and other jungle animals, and curtains made from fabric that looks like big puffy clouds in a blue sky.

You can incorporate a deep green rug on the floor, whimsical framed prints from storybooks that focus on jungle animals, like Curious George on the walls, and wild animal print pillows piled on a window seat or in a comfortable chair for nursing or cuddling before bedtime as vibrant accents.

Trends in Kitchen Wall Decoration

The kitchen is a woman's territory, no doubt, but there are some men who can cook too. That said, a woman tends to imbue her personality in her kitchen, modeling it to suit her aesthetic tastes. Some prefer country or feminine themes, while others like to go modern or minimalist. Interior details and trends for the kitchen may have changed as the years pass but the fact remains that women still want their kitchen to reflect themselves.

Women think highly of how people see their kitchens, which sometimes drives women to be meticulous in giving their kitchen a certain feel with the use of appliances paired with themed decorations, kitchen wallpapers, wallpaper borders, and whatnot.

Most women today still go for kitchens that radiate the classic yet cozy country atmosphere. Wallpaper that possesses the warm countryside vibe includes toile wallpaper and borders that display fruit and vegetable patterns. Images like apples in a box or baskets, grapes and berries, and green vines are great options for country wallpaper border. Other great country-inspired wallpaper border designs have images of farm animals, bottles and jars, herbs, teacups, silver and cooking ware, and various fruits and vegetables.

Another wallpaper trend that best fits the kitchen are toile wallpaper designs with Vintage, French, and Victorian themes. Vintage wallpaper borders that show scenes from the olden days provide your kitchen with an antique look and feel. Checkered French wallpaper border with French recipes is also a pleasing choice for kitchen walls.

Modern kitchens meanwhile, require a taste of modernity. No other kitchen wallpaper displays modernity than the Harlequin. Harlequin kitchen wallpapers are the preferred choice by interior designers who remodel contemporary and sophisticated kitchens. It is very easy to manipulate Harlequin wallpapers to suit any theme as they can be custom-made. Brush strokes, medallions, leaves, circles, squares and abstract shapes are also great designs for contemporary, modern wallpaper.

A trend that has made some waves in interior design is faux finishing. While most faux finishes only appear in dens and living rooms, one can employ a faux finishing job on kitchen walls too. Though an actual faux finish painting may look good, kitchen wallpaper with faux finish details is also aesthetically pleasing. In addition, kitchen counters, table tops, cupboards, and other kitchen fixtures can be pasted with a faux finish detail to incorporate a similar theme. Faux designs that can enhance any kitchen are stucco and marbleized finishes.

Kitchen wallpaper is a great and inexpensive alternative to completely remodeling a kitchen. To make kitchen wallpaper and borders create the best of effects, it must go well with the other decorations, fixtures, and lights of the kitchen they are installed in. A harmonious synchrony among these decorative elements can give any kitchen a robust feel and a truly inviting atmosphere.

Wallpaper Guide for Your New Baby


Disney Babies, Elmo and friends, little ducklings, Beatrix Potter, Noah's Ark, Candyland jungles, sailboats and stars and moons and teddy bears and choo-choo trains - and those are just a few of the thousands of wallpaper patterns that are available for the single most precious room in your house. Decorating a nursery for your soon-to-be bundle of joy is a joyful task, but the choices can be overwhelming. If you're choosing wallpaper for your nursery, there are some guidelines and advice that will help you choose nursery wallpaper that he'll love just as much when he's five as you do on the day you bring him home from the hospital.

Decide on a motif.

If you've already chosen some of the furnishings or bedding for your baby's room, you may have a pretty good idea of the sort of nursery you want to create. Whether you opt for Disney characters, sailboats and fishes, fantasy castles or frolicking lambs, you'll find nursery wallpaper that supports the theme. Keep in mind though that your child is going to grow faster than you can imagine, and it won't be long before she's got some very definite tastes of her own. By all means, indulge your fantasies if the motif you want is cutesy nursery with fluffy lambs, bunnies and teddy bears - but opt for wallpaper that's easily strippable when she's ready for Barbie and Hello Kitty.

Keep it simple and bright.

Babies distinguish bright colors and simple shapes long before they can discern anything else. Those puffy clouds and smiling stars are there for YOUR benefit, not your baby's. If you're looking for something that will stimulate your new munchkin's brain, pick wallpaper with bright primary colors and simple shapes. One of the neat wallpaper tricks is to opt for a simple striped pattern accented with a strippable wallpaper border in complementary colors. It's a simple matter to replace the ABC nursery blocks wallpaper border with Crayola crayons when he's two, and Elmo and Friends nursery wallpaper border when he's four and bats, balls and gloves when he's six.

Make it FUN.

If you do decide to opt for a busy style wallpaper, choose one that will be fun as she grows older. Wallpaper murals can become a 'toy' of sorts, a background to imagination as your child grows older and starts to notice the world around her. Try three 'simple' walls with a repeating pattern, and wallpaper the fourth wall with a jungle nursery wall mural, or - if you can find one - Where's Waldo?

Pick wallpaper that's easy to clean.

Trust me on this one. Your adorable cooing bundle will grow into a curious toddler who'll finger paint on the walls with Mommy's lipsticks and practice her letters on the ABC blocks. Whatever pattern or style of nursery wallpaper you choose, make certain that it's washable!

Kids' Wallpaper Borders Ideas


Deciding what kind of Wallpaper Borders to put up for your kid's room can be time-consuming. It's important that you choose a theme that your child will appreciate. A great Wallpaper Border decoration for kids does not need to have multiple designs. A simple, yet interesting design can really enhance your kid's room decoration. Here are a few simple, yet great ideas.

Kids, especially boys, love Movie-themed Wallpaper Borders. For example, if your kid is a Star Wars fan, you might want to buy Border patterns decorated with the movie characters, spaceships and other gadgets used in the movie.

Wallpaper borders with Story Book or cartoon characters can really add color and light to your kid's room. Choose from a variety of fairytale or comic book characters like the little mermaid, Peter Pan, Puss in Boots, Garfield, Asterix etc.

Transportation themed Wallpaper Borders can also be fun. You can get Borders that feature your kid's favorite automobiles. For example, if your child likes trains, it'd be a great idea to put up train track borders on his wall.

If your kid has a favorite animal, he'd love to have pictures of it on his wall. There are hundreds of animal Wallpaper Borders to choose from such as horses, lions, dogs, tigers, cats, etc. Go for the colorful ones because some Animal Borders may not be specifically designed for kids.

You can do a lot with colors too. Camouflage Borders can give a very nice army-themed room decoration while blue, tan and ivory combined with a blend of various wild animals can produce the perfect Safari look. Little girls also love colors. So if you have one in the family, get Borders dotted with pink hearts, colorful little elves, butterflies and fairies.

Pink Wallpaper Border


The size of mobile homes and trailers vary from very small to those that are as spacious as a small house. However, as a general rule, decorating a trailer requires some special techniques to maximize the living space. One effective decorating method to use involves using color as the primary decorating tool. Not only can color help to create a coordinated look, but using color as opposed to many different decorating accent pieces can maximize the living space and make the rooms look larger.

Blending Rooms Together with Color
Many times the rooms within a trailer are designed so that they flow smoothly into each other. Because of this room layout, you can create the illusion of more space by using the same color families in adjoining rooms, making the rooms appear to be more spacious. This is because the eye will pick up on the coordinating color and visually combine the smaller rooms into one larger living area. Although there are many different color combinations from which to choose when decorating a trailer, using pink and purple can create a very modern, fresh and often surprising look.

Using Pink and Purple in the Kitchen
Although pink has traditionally been thought of as a color best suited for girls' bedrooms and bathrooms, it is actually a great color to use in many different rooms in the home. For example, in the kitchen, pink can add a fresh and cheerful look. Because of the fact that the color pink has become associated with the fight against breast cancer, it is now easy to find kitchen accessories and even small appliances in this color. A kitchen painted in a fresh white or off-white shade can be combined with pink appliances on the countertops and a rack of cheerful pink kitchen accessories. Or, go all out and paint the wall a cheerful shade of pink as well.

Pink in the Living and Dining Room
If you've used pink for the kitchen, you can then flow this color into the next adjoining room, such as the dining room or living room. In these areas, you might want to change the color palette a bit towards deeper and richer shades of pink, such as using a mauve tablecloth or burgundy furniture. Then, add bright accents in shades of light pink, such as an arrangement of

A Pink and Purple Trailer to Call Home

pink throw pillows on the sofa, a pink and white tapestry throw, or an arrangement of pink flowers on the dining room table. Using a wallpaper border around the top edge of the room that incorporates pink shades is also a great way of using the color.

Purple in Bedrooms and the Bath

Moving into the bedrooms, you can blend shades of purple into your decorating scheme. Purple comes in a wide variety of shades, including subtle lavenders, muted plum shades, and regal purples. These colors can often be especially effective when decorating a bedroom, as they are equally useful for feminine as well as masculine decorating schemes. Shades of purple can also be used in the bathroom to create a designer look. Try adding a basket of rolled towels in shades of muted purple, combined with a floral arrangement. On the walls, add a few framed art prints that incorporate shades of purple. Using a neutral shade on the walls can help keep the color from becoming too overwhelming in a small space.

Decorating With Jungle Wallpaper Border and Accessories


One of the things I love most about owning a home is being able to decorate it any way I see fit. I've rented for most of my adult life, and always hated the way I wasn't allowed to paint, hang pictures, or install different carpeting. I needed my security deposit back, so I couldn't afford to risk losing the money by doing something the landlord wouldn't approve of. As a result, my walls were usually white and bare, which can get pretty depressing after a while. Thankfully I'm in my own place now, and am having a blast decorating the way I want to.

I spent a lot of time looking through magazines and shopping at home centers before deciding on a decorating theme for my downstairs TV room/media center. I came across an amazing clearance sale on jungle wallpaper border, and thought that would make the perfect environment for watching television and movies, playing video games, listening to music, or surfing the Internet. Jungle wallpaper border conveys an attitude that's half playful, half exotic, and all fun -- which is precisely what I want for the basement.

Since I would be getting such a tremendous deal on the jungle wallpaper border (I'm talking 75% off each roll), I decided to splurge on related furniture and accessories. So I went out and bought animal print everything: slipcovers for the sofa and armchairs, throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs. Later on when my bank account is replenished a bit, I plan to add some leafy plants to the area to complete the theme. The overall effect looks terrific so far, and it all began with my accidental discovery of some discounted rolls of jungle wallpaper border!

To be sure, this particular theme probably wouldn't suit everyone's tastes. If you prefer more classic interior decorating schemes, then you obviously won't be running out to buy your own jungle wallpaper border. You can stick to more traditional patterns that won't raise eyebrows or elicit comments and compliments from visitors. There's nothing wrong with that choice, as it's the one most homeowners make.

But if you're ready to make a bold statement, then you can buy jungle wallpaper border and all the accessories I mentioned at most online retailers that sell home furnishings. With a little luck, you might even be able to find some good bargains (just like I did), which will allow you to decorate well even on a limited budget.

Obviously, you can choose to spruce up your rooms any way you want. I personally like the idea of taking chances in my decorating schemes to see what works and what doesn't. Fortunately, there's no harm in doing so and it's fairly easy to change to something else if I ever get tired of my jungle wallpaper border and animal prints!

Wallpaper and Borders - Tricks of the Trade For Decorating Or Accenting a Room Decor With Ease

Putting up wallpaper is a task which very few people enjoy. Aside from the obvious mess, it can take an extraordinary amount of time and preparation. There are a couple of tricks or techniques to avoid a challenging mess. However, before a finger is even lifted to open a roll of wallpaper or border, choosing the pattern, color and theme can take some length of time.

The selections available for the various patterns, themes and colors of wallpaper and wallpaper borders are astounding. Big block home improvement stores almost always have a very limited stock available. The most popular designs are kids' themed or flowery types. Settling for what is in stock is never a good idea. Ask the clerk for a catalogue or other samples. Better yet, visit a shop specializing in wallpaper, paint and home décor. It will be far easier to match up color palettes so that clashing does not occur.

If the home owner is decorating from scratch, it will be much easier to pick the main colors to be used from swatches and coordinate wallpaper with those swatches. Should the walls already have a main paint color or wallpaper applied to the walls, try to find the original piece of wallpaper or paint to create a swatch. Sometimes this just will not be possible. In this case carefully remove a small obscured piece of the existing wall decor, if possible, from the wall to use as a sample.

Once the wallpaper or border has been purchased and the home owner is ready to begin applying the wallpaper, there are a couple of tricks to take advantage of in order to maintain the neatest work area possible. Having a large open surface, such as a countertop or dining room table in or near the room to be decorated, is a must. If none is available, an inexpensive 4' by 4' folding table will serve to set the water trough on used for submerging the wallpaper. Having the trough elevated near waist height will save a good amount of back pain and stiffness later. The worst case scenario is using a bathtub which is clean from any cleaning chemical residue or a wide plank of wood.

A very sturdy foot stool in prime condition will usually be easier to maneuver than even the smallest step ladder. If the room being decorated has cathedral type ceilings the home owner may not have this choice. It is vitally important not to step on the top or the second ladder rung from the top. Over extending one's reach while standing on a foot stool or ladder is also the most common cause for ladder injury. It is almost guaranteed that the individual will fall. DO NOT DO THIS!

It is always recommended to have a helper nearby when hanging full rolls of wallpaper and sometimes borders. Not only will this speed up the process, but will also be easier for the decorator. There is a well kept secret "trick", however, which even many professionals are not yet aware.

There is a specialized tool designed to make applying a wallpaper border quite simple and fast without a second wallpapering or border buddy. The tool allows an individual to spool out the border, with only one hand and temporarily and quickly secure itself to the wall while the user slides the foot stool over to continue spooling the border out. What can easily take two people a couple of hours to apply a border to just one average room; the average person with this tool can do it in perhaps a half-hour.
