~ In a child’s room, where you might want to lower a ceiling to make it cozier, paint one color up to a wallpaper border or molding 6’ above the floor, then switch to a different color for the remainder of the wall and ceiling.

~ Also in a child’s room, try stickers, stamping, or a repeating roller to around a window or door frame, at chair rail height, or near the edge of the ceiling.

~ Imitation architectural features have become very popular in wallpaper. They are much less expensive then installing wood moldings.

~ Pottery Barn once showed a room, in their catalog, with the area below the chair rail (the dado) decorated with pages of sheet music placed side-by-side. What an innovative idea! It is also a very inexpensive. Use your imagine to carry this concept further with a material symbolizes your hobby or interest. For example, the walls of my office are covered wall-to-wall with my children’s artwork.

~ Paintable, embossed wallcoverings are also becoming popular. The most practical use for an embossed material would be below a chair rail in a formal dining room or foyer.

Painting Furniture and Woodwork
Do you have woodwork or wood furniture that needs sprucing up? If you're not sure, ask yourself, "Do I like the stain? Is the graining attractive? Is the finish rich?" If you can’t answer "yes" to these questions, you should consider paint.

Rust-Olean has a specific line of paints, called American Accents, that is just for the above purpose. The collection is grouped into colors that were meant to work together.
