...And I have no idea what to do. Not to be completely stereotypical or anything, but I was watching a few shows on TLC and I saw this really cool idea of putting a dark color (black or very slightly lighter) as a border and then using a lighter color as the actual wall. I'm thinking of using a light grayish-blue as the wall color and then black as the border.
I'm just not sure if the room they did looked good only because it was TLC and they had a lot more to work with. I imagine mine might feel small if I did the dark border. My mom's almost completely opposed to it, but I figure if it looks terrible I can just redo it later or something.
Regardless of what I decide, this room needs to change. The house my parents moved into is over a hundred years old and every room is wall-papered. The one that turned out to be mine has thin green, pink, and yellow stripes going vertically from floor to ceiling. It's so fucking ugly, lol.
Any ideas? Has anyone else done that? Does it look alright?
