Can anyone help??

I have been searching online all afternoon and can't find anything suitable. I am in the middle of decorating our lounge/diner that is seperated by an archway. I really want some edging to go around this to stop the wallpaper from coming off from wear and tear.

Anybody got any ideas - i would be very grateful!:D

    The only thing I can think of is Upvc window trim. I don't know how this would look though.

    The only way to make architrave flexible is to cut it but then you've got lots of V shaped gaps to fill. You should be fine with the wallpaper.
