Wall Borders are used to decorate and structure the walls of living rooms, bedrooms, or corridors. Whether to stick on, adhesive or pre-glued, the available models are either plain or patterned to perfectly harmonize with the room's decoration.
Wall borders are distinguished by their aesthetics:
- plain models are preferable on patterned wallpaper;
- patterned or embossed models are recommended on a plain covering;
- some models specifically dedicated to children's rooms are characterized by drawings of superheroes or cartoon characters;
- others might delight movie enthusiasts.
These decorative elements are distinguished by their installation system:
- adhesive models presented in the form of stickers are appreciated for their ease of installation;
- the versions to be installed with special glue are characterized by their affordable price;
- the pre-glued models must be dipped in water before being installed.
A wall border can be placed in different locations:
- 10 cm from the ceiling to draw the gaze upward;
- 1 m off the floor to divide the wall, giving the impression of an upward opening;
- near the floor for an original decoration.
The installation of this decorative accessory unfolds in a few steps:
- the wall cleaning;
- the wall drying;
- the drawing of a line that will serve as a guide on the wall;
- the application of the stickers;
- the smoothing out as you go to expel the air.
In the case of a border to be glued, the installation is conducted in the same manner as wallpaper. Smoothing is done using a wallpaper brush.
Thus, the choice of a border depends on the room's decoration, preferences, but also on everyone's budget.
