# How Do I Remove Border Print Wallpaper?
Wallpaper border adds just enough color and brightness to a room without covering the entire wall. The border can run along all four walls or only one or two walls. Removing the wallpaper border involves softening the adhesive on the back of the border that allows it to stick to the wall. Without first softening the glue, the wallpaper only comes off in pieces, if at all. Using the proper tools, you can remove the wallpaper border without much difficulty.
