Bandbox designs
- Motifs taken from hatboxes or bandboxes of the early 19th century which
were covered with wallpaper, usually of a romantic or topical nature.
- Bolt
- A continuous roll of wallpaper, packaged as one unit. It contains a quantity
of paper equivalent to two single rolls of paper.
- Booking
- Folding (without creasing) a continuous strip of wallpaper which has just
been pasted, allowing time for the adhesive to soak into the paper, and keeping
the adhesive tacky until ready to hang. The paper is folded over on itself,
pasted sides together with the edges in alignment. The correct amount of booking
time varies, and is noted on the directions that come with the paper.
- Borders
- A decorative strip of wallpaper which traditionally has been used as a chair
rail or in combination with a chair rail. Because of the wide variety of designs
and widths now available, borders are also used along ceiling lines, along
the baseboard, around doors and windows, and in any manner that a trim could
be used.
- Butted seam
- Two strips of wallpaper are laid with the edges just touching, and not overlapping.
