Are You Looking for Ideas for Your Baby Nursery Wall Borders? Come and Check Out Our Gallery of Nursery Border Ideas. Everything From Hand Painted Baby Room Borders to Chair Rails...

A baby room border is an easy, effective and inexpensive way to add drama to your nursery design. You can use a baby room border as a coordinating item to pull your nursery decor together or you can use it to deliberately split your walls creating a point of interest and contrast.

There are many different types of baby nursery borders. Choose from wallpaper, chair rails, hand painted, stripes, stencils and more depending on your nursery style and your creativity.

Nursery wall borders can be placed near the center of the wall or close to the top or both.

You can paint the top and bottom of the walls different colors or use different paint effects, for example, stripes at the bottom and polka dots at the top.

The possibilities are endless - take a look at some of the nursery ideas in our gallery to get some baby nursery decorating ideas of your own.
