Create a château-worthy doorway

A wide boarder will add impact to an existing architrave and make period details modern.

How to: Use low-tack masking tape to mask out a band around your door frame. Paint the band and wall decoration (before fixing it to the wall) using matt emulsion.

When dry, paint out a small strip along the top of the band, and fix the wall decoration in place using No More Nails available at Amazon.co.uk.

Paint skirting in the same colour.  If your skirting is narrower than your band, continue with the emulsion above it to create the same width of band.
