Add a Wallpaper Border
Channel your inner maximalist by pairing an all-over floral pattern with a separatewallpaper border.
This will add a second layer of pattern alongside your existing trims, like wainscoting or baseboards.
For a balanced design outcome, don’t pair a floral border with a floral wallpaper.
Instead, choose a solid or lightly-patterned border to complement your floral wallpaper.
This pattern-play strategy allows each wallpaper print to shine, preventing a blended or overdone look.
