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.

Important Information on Peeling Off Wall Paper and Borders
By Adam Peters

Removal of wallpaper and wallpaper border needs extra care and should be done correctly. In age-old houses the wallpaper borders are stuck to the wall with glue, and it is a tough task to remove such borders. When old wallpaper is painted over, the job of removing it becomes all the more difficult.


It is important to check on what type of surface the wallpaper and borders are stuck. Sometimes it is stuck on the painted wall directly and in some c

ases it could be stuck on the old wallpaper.

There are different types of wall on which the wallpaper can be stuck. The wall can be a dry wall or a plaster smoothed over plank. Dry wall is made of prefabricated material like plasterboard. Drywall generally will sound hollow when tapped and it is less smooth and even. Wallpaper on dry wall has to be removed carefully without using much water, as excess water can damage the wall. Scrape the paper carefully as dry wall gets damaged easily and faster.

If the wallpaper is glued on a painted wall, then t

he first step in removing is to wet the lower layer with warm water and allow it soak for sometime. There are solvent available in hardware stores, which can be used as an alternative for water in removing the wallpaper stuck on the painted wall. Once the wall is considerably dampen start scraping the wallpaper.


In removing borders, first check whether the border is made of porous material. Borders with porous material will absorb water and removing it becomes easy when it is soaked for long time. Sometimes borders are made using foil, vinyl coated material and acrylic. These materials are not porous and needs different method for removing. For non-porous borders first scratch the surface of the border. Sometimes it can be perforated or pierced to make the surface rough. Then wet the entire area with water or solvent to break through the glue or any adhesive used. A well-damped border can be worn out easily.


There are different techniques followed in removing the wallpaper border. First check for the kind of wallpaper used and nature of the surface of wall before applying any technique.

The different techniques are:

o Dry Stripping: This technique is used when peelable wallpaper is used. The top portion of the decorative paper comes off easily and backing paper and adhesive needs to be scraped off.


o Soaking and Scraping: For non-strippable paper borders you need to use water and wallpaper removing solvent to dampen the wall. Use a paint roller or spray bottle to dampen the wall. Allow the wall to soak for sometime. For non-porous paper borders use perforators or scrapers to scrap the border. But extreme precaution should be taken while using scarping tools on wet borders.


o Steam bath: Steam bath technique is used when wallpaper is painted over, wallpaper glued onto old wallpaper, or when the borders are not scarped off easily. Using steamer on walls ensure that the wall is not damaged. Steamers can be hired or bought.

Adding Wallpaper, Borders, Wainscoting, Or Chair Rails to Complete a Room

By Daniel P Elliott



With all the available products on the market to change and improve the cosmetics of the home interior it can be a daunting choice. Wallpaper or borders can make it easy to theme out a room. Then there are chair rails or wainscoting. Paneling is another alternative. Is painting the best option? What about stenciling? Which is the most cost effective and least time consuming? What about safety?

The safest and least expensive cosmetic change overall is wallpaper or borders. This method of customizing a room's appearance can be performed by almost any individual. As long as you have access to a sharp pair of scissors, a good straight 3' level and/or a plumb bob, tape measure, and a sturdy step stool. The last item will be a long plastic water trough for submerging the wallpaper or border completely. With these few common household tools a typical 8' tall wall can get a new lease on life. A good amount of open space will be required to allow for a good clutter free work area.

Painting is probably the most common method of altering a room's appearance, but often comes with trade offs. Instead of a simple affordable step stool, a ladder will be required to reach the top edged of the wall where it meets the ceiling. Much of the necessary painting supplies such as brushes, rollers, and paint trays will quickly increase the cost. The advantage of painting is a truly customized color to reflect your décor and tastes.

Additional materials needed are drop cloths and either a dust mask or respirator. The last items necessary for proper safety are often overlooked. Safety should always be of prime importance. The majority of paints on the market can have adverse health risks. Most paints give off volatile organic compounds or V.O.C.s even after the paint has completely dried. Volatile organic compounds have been linked to head aches and nausea as well as more serious potential health risks. There are a growing number of low or no V.O.C. paints on the market as health awareness heightens.


Installing a chair rail or wainscoting will give any room a distinctive charm and flair, however, special attention, skills, and tools need to be used with this type of cosmetic customizing. A good miter saw and/or circular saw, tape measure, and safety instruments are just a few of the tools that are key in order to produce professional results. The majority of households do not have these tools necessary for installing this type of room accenting so is often the most expensive alternative to change a room's appearance. If expense is of no concern, then safety and skill level with these tools is the next topic that needs to be addressed.

Make sure to have a good pair of safety glasses and hearing protectors. The power tools used for this project are often quite dangerous in the hands of an unskilled worker and special attention is required to use these tools in a safe and responsible manner.

Other safety issues are regarding the type of material from which the chair rail and/or wainscoting is made. Many composite materials such as MDF or other wood products have been manufactured using a formaldehyde based resin to glue the wood particle board together. This type of glue, commonly used in kitchen counter tops, has been proven to be carcinogenic. Many wood products, such as preassembled or ready-to-assemble furniture, that use particle board materials can produce off gases that may affect an individual's health.

Further exploration of a room's decorative options can be found throughout books, television, online, or even a hardware store. The imagination is the only limit to revitalizing that boring old room and showing off your accomplishments to friends and family.

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.
