Chair Rail

• Paper wall borders that divide the room horizontally bring more color to the wall and there is no need to frame the border using wood trim -- the borders have a design at the top and bottom that makes the border complete without that added expense. Cut a foot-long piece off the paper border and tape the piece to the wall, adjusting it between the standard heights of 32 and 36 inches until you find the best height for the room.
  
  

High Ceilings

• Use a wall border to visually lower the height of a high ceiling. Measure the walls 8 feet from the floor and mark a guideline around the room. Paint the wall above the guideline the same color as the ceiling. Place the bottom edge of the border along the guideline. The border will draw the eye upward; however, the eye will be focused on the border, rather than the high ceiling.
  
  

Window Borders

• Wall borders take on a whole new look when used in a non-traditional way to frame a window, and the height doesn't matter. Glue the border to the wall around the sides and across the top of the wood window frame, butting the inside border edge against the frame. This simple effect will add interest to a window that is covered solely with blinds and lacks curtains.
  
  

Attaching Wall Borders

• Wall borders have backs that are pre-pasted. To activate the glue, simply brush the back of the border with water. Handling the long piece of border material will be much easier when the border is folded accordion-style. Make the necessary adjustments to keep the border straight and level before moving on to another section, and slide your hands over it to remove wrinkles.
