While we don't espouse the "trendy" as a general rule, we do love spotting new style details! We have been following some very fun border treatments on walls, crown moldings, drapery, and wainscoting. Here's a little round up of some that we find inspiring! We are seeing this detail executed with ribbon, wood moldings, paint and even wallpaper borders (not your 80's mauve duck borders!) Trims like these add maximum style with minimum effort.

We have used this beading detail on some fun frames for art lately. You can DIY the look on a frame by ordering these half wood balls from Amazon and gluing them to a flat wood frame, then painting. As a wainscoting detail they add a charm factor perfect for kitchens, kids' rooms or a powder bath.

Susie Atkinson, founder of her eponymous British homewares brand, has launched a collection of wallpaper borders which consists of colorful, patterned adhesive strips that can transform the whole look and feel of a room. The collection features four patterns (two stripes, a check, and a floral), all in multiple colorways, starting at $83 a roll.
