Stripping Lends Contrast

Stripping, the process of running
narrow bands of paint around the
walls few inches from and parallel
with the wood trim, may be an
effective answer to the desire to
avoid one-color interior wall monot-
ony. The width of the stripe, its
color and the distance from the
wood trim will usually depend on
the size of the room, the amount
of decoration required to Offset the
objectional plainness and also on
the prominence of the door and
window castings.
