Maybe you could place a chair rail on the bottom parts of the wall and choose a matching color from the wallpaper and paint the bottom part of the wall
I would rake down the wallpaper around the door and paint it wiyh your paper's background color
Maybe use wainscoting half way up on each side of the door.
Hi Karen, sorry about your wallpaper... maybe you puppy liked it too much ;)
I would probably try to first take of the entire strip next to the door (on the side where it was chewed up) and then either a) try to copy the pattern by painting it on (which you would have to be quite talented for or know someone that can paint that well) or make copies of that part/the pattern in order to use transfer medium and apply it directly to the wall (the wall would have to be painted underneath and probably sealed afterwards).
You could also try and have it printed on premium paper that you can then attach to the wall like the wall paper.
I know that all of that might not be easy or a quick solution and would definately still look different than the actual wallpaper, but I image it could give it a nice touch (and it would be cheaper than re-decorating). Oh, and I would get the puppy a few more chew toys ;)
Hi Karen.....wow! I feel your pain here. If you can't get the wallpaper anymore, you don't have much choice other than to redo the entire room....or....if it were me, and I loved the paper, I would go for removing the paper on both sides and above the door since that area is almost a separate "wall." Then I would pick my favorite shade from the paper, and paint around the door to make it look like an accent wall. If you can salvage enough of the paper to cut out some of the flowers you could frame them and hang above or to sides of door. Good luck....and keep that sweet little doggie out!
How about beadboard wainscoating on the bottom portion of the wall? This would be more durable and could be applied directly over the remaining wallpaper.
Try to find a free hand artist to folow the pattern disign He or she can color the wall Ivory drow the dising and the hard part is to match the colors
Good luck
Take the paper down from the one wall where it is torn and paint it a complimentary color to the paper. Just that short wall where the door is. It really is lovely wall paper. I can feel your pain as my puppy is fond of redecorating.
