Wallpaper Borders

By Tim Carter
©1993-2008 Tim Carter
Summary: Wallpaper borders can really add a colorful or distinctive flair to a room. I have a tropical-themed wallpaper border in a basement bathroom that is gorgeous. Discount wallpaper borders can be bought in many places, but beware. Remember, you get what you pay for. High-quality wallpaper borders cost a little more money, but they are really worth it.

I would like to add boarders in my office with high ceilings. Are there any boarders 2 to 3 ft deep?

Debbie,
Maybe. Why not discover a regular wallpaper that looks good on its side....... Many papers are 20-inches wide.
