Things You'll Need:
- Wallpaper borders in a variety of colors and designs
-
Step 1
Choose which room you will decorate with a floral wallpaper border. Borders can be used to enhance any room, and will create a romantic vibe in your bathroom or bedroom. Hang a floral border in a room featuring antiques to add vintage appeal to the space.
-
Step 2
Create a feminine bathroom by painting the walls a light purple shade, and hanging a border with lilacs or orchids around doorways and windows. To add an extra touch of romance, hang a white lace shower curtain and window coverings.
-
Step 3
Create the appearance of a higher living room ceiling by hanging a floral border directly under it. If the room features neutral-toned furniture, such as a cream or tan couch and loveseat set, choose a border featuring flowers in muted orange or butter yellow shades for a pop of fresh color. Complete the look by setting out vases of yellow and orange flowers, such as daisies.
-
Step 4
Divide a large wall by hanging a floral border horizontally across the middle of it. If you want to create two separate spaces, paint the wall in different, coordinating colors. Use the floral border featuring both colors, such as soft yellow flowers with green stems, to create a cohesive look.
-
Step 5
Add warmth and create the look of lower ceilings in a large, bleakly decorated library or den by using floral borders. If the room features sleek leather furniture, wooden desks and bookcases, make it appear more inviting by placing a floral border around the center of the walls. If you have black furniture, choose a modern-looking silver blue border with elegant white flowers, such as calla lilies.
-
Step 6
Use a floral border to add an artistic look to your bedroom walls. Contrast striped wallpaper by hanging a flower-printed border directly under the ceiling. Create a coordinating look by choosing a border that reflects shades in the wallpaper. For instance, if your walls are green- and white-striped, pick a border featuring green stems and white and light pink flowers.
