Paint is well known as one of least expensive and easiest ways to change look of any room, but if you pick your colors carefully you can give space a new feel as well as a new look. Certain colors can make your bedroom walls feel closer or farther away.

If you have a small bedroom and you want it to feel more spacious, then consider painting walls a receding color. These are blue – green – purpleish colors and any combination thereof. Look at a basic color wheel – you’ll see that those colors are all next to each other on one side. You probably want to avoid darkest of these combinations, however as painting a room in very dark tones can make it look smaller overall.

You can get a pretty good bargain on borders in closeout bin at your wallpaper store or home improvement center, but make sure they have enough of border to go around area you want to cover as these bargains are usually close outs and you might not be able to get more!

Since most wallpapers come pre-pasted, applying border is easy. A backsplash area is usually pretty small so this project can be done in an afternnon. When selecting your border, think about your overall theme or color scheme of kitchen. You want to pick something that complements it and, of course, pick one that is washable so that you can easily remove all "splashes" that occur during normal kitchen activities.
