FINISHING SCHOOL

In lieu of by-the-yard borders, look to striped wallpapers for custom trim. Here, motifs are cut into long graphic strips to create trompe l’oeil paneling on bare walls (top left); elevate door casements and molding with vivid graphics (top and bottom right); and lend visual depth to mantels and other 3D silhouettes (bottom left).
