A border retainer for retaining a decorative wall border segment on a wall after the border segment is pasted on the wall, to prevent the applied border segment from inadvertently curling up and detaching from the wall during the border-hanging operation when it is necessary to temporarily release the border segment before the border application paste dries. The border retainer is characterized by a retainer body typically fitted with a handle. A pair of wall inertion spikes extends from fixed or removable attachment to the retainer body for insertion in the wall and removably attaching the retainer body to the wall, and a retainer flange is provided on the retainer body. After the border segment is applied to the wall typically begin at one end and progressing to the opposite, extending end of the border segment, the extending end portion of the border segment initially remains unpasted to the wall and is retained by the retainer flange of the retainer body. The retainer flange prevents the border segment from curling up and detaching from the wall before the border application paste dries as the person hanging the border temporarily releases the border segment in preparation for pasting an overlapping, second border segment of the border on the wall after removing the border retainer from the wall. In another embodiment of the invention, at least one retainer clip instead of or in addition to the retainer flange is provided on the retainer body for holding the free extending end portion of the border segment.
