on -- a. ct tr "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" 18a - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, March 29,1994 Here are some ideas and sug- gestions about ways in which you can get dramatic results by using small amounts of wallpa- per. - Use it on only the wall be- hind a sofa (in the living room) or behind a buffet (in the dining room). - It works well in wall recess- es, nooks, niches and small en- trance halls. - Make a faux headboard for your bed: paper the wall just the width of the bed. Use a match- ing border trim at each end. - Frame windows, doorways and fireplaces with wallpaper border or strips cut out of stan- dard rolls of paper. - Do the cabinet doors - and nothing else - in the kitchen or in a bathroom. - Do the interior of clothes closets or armoires (you can clean out the closet while you're atit). - Wallpaper old furniture and then cover it with polyurethane for a secure, hard finish. -Under an archway. Wallpaper Hints For Rookies And Veterans - Vertical stripes on walls makes ceilings appear higher, while horizontal stripes have the opposite effect. - To make a ceiling appear lower use larger patterns in florals, plaids or geometrics. - If you want to mix patterns, that's fine. But if you can select all your patterns from just one sample book you'll find that they are usually all color co- ordinated. - Be careful when mixing pat- terns. Try to choose one pattern with a soft edge, i.e., flowers, dots, leaves and choose a hard edged pattern to go with it such as stripes or small check; and make sure that at least two col- ors are repeated in each pat- tern. - Vinyl wallcoverings are sturdy and washable, which can be an important plus especially in homes with small children. - For do-it-yourself projects, select pre-pasted wallpaper. - Be sure to measure your spaces - carefully - before buy- ing wallpaper. Nothing's worse than getting the job almost done and then running a few feet short of paper. - Large patterned wallpaper can have a stimulating effect. That's fine in some places but use it sparingly in, for example, your bedroom.
