Band Aid

Wallbands at Koo de Kir

There are two types of people on this earth: interior decorators and interior dreaders. Take wallpaper, for example.

The decorator embraces it as an opportunity to explore a country theme through gingham, murals, and birdhouse borders. The dreader analyzes a particular country theme in therapy.

Can’t we all just get along?

The folks at Wallbands think so. They’ve come up with a sassy line of D.I.Y. borders that just might connect these two worlds of thought.

The paste-on stripes in zippy designs and happy colors are ready for application (no steam needed) to any wall surface. Roll out an elegant Gala print in green tea diagonally across your living room or try a coco-hued geometric Dixon in your library. Go vertical with a sporty citron Racer in your hall and horizontal with the dusty-pink floral Ra-Ra in your bedroom. Each is fifteen feet of pattern and endless fun for the creative as well as the creatively challenged.

Because there’s often a fine line between style and substance.

And sometimes that line is, in fact, a Wallband.
