Does the Bubbles collection have a matching wall border? Any suggestions to a coordinating wall border that could go with this design. We are thinking about picking up the lime or teal color for the walls.

Dear Tami,
 
Thank you for the great questions about decorating around our Bubbles Bath Collection.  We do not have a wallpaper border that is a direct match for the Bubbles collection, however I think that the pattern is so lively that my first choice in a border design would be simple stripes.  I actually think that you could create a striped border yourself, with paint, that would be a lot of fun.  I would paint the wall the same cream as the background, and then pick up a few of the colors from the pattern in thin painted stripes, separated by cream.  You could have them professionally painted mechanically straight (or if you are handy you could tape them off and do it yourself).  But they don't have to be mechanical because the fine circles in the pattern have a handpainted feel, and you could recreate that look rather easily. 
But if that is daunting, I also love the idea of picking up a color for the walls.  You mentioned Lime and Teal.  Both colors match the pattern, however Teal is a deep green-turquoise and if you are painting an entire wall a color I would stick to a lighter shade such as aqua which is also a color in the Bubbles pattern. 
If you decide to go with the border idea and have questions, please contact us again.  Either way we would love to see a photo of the finished room.
Good luck!!
