Hang Wallpaper Borders in the Middle of a Painted Wall
A border can break up the expanse of a solid color wall by adding a splash of color and a bit of interest. Painting borders can be time consuming and difficult, and if your artistic skills are not up to par you might have to live with an imperfect result. Happily, there is a much more professional alternative that can be put on your painted wall: a wallpaper border. You don't have to have the entire wall papered to use one. They can be pasted right over paint to add instant appeal to your room. Does this Spark an idea?

Decorate Double Height Walls
Double-height walls often are seen in foyers, rooms with vaulted ceilings or homes with a loft overlooking the living room area. Decorating this space prevents the large wall expanse from looking dull and awkward in the room. Utilizing the right height for your artwork and other decor makes the most of this unusual wall space and creates unity and visual flow in the room. Large-scale artwork, furnishings and other accessories help diminish the tall, overwhelming space. Does this Spark an idea?
