Sticky Business with Wallpaper

One year ago, what would have been your average visit to a hair dresser yesterday became a little bit of interior design education. As I was having my hair washed (nothing better than a mini head massage) I noticed the wallpaper and the way in which it had been formed around the arch (see image below). Have a peek at the zoomed in image of the place with the wallpaper meets the arch and you can see it has been stuck directly to the edge of the wall. 

Although the wallpaper is gorgeous, rich & livens up the space I believe highlighting the archway with paint would have created a cleaner finish (the wallpaper is pealing now). 
Of course, cutting in to the wall and re-creating the arch would be the best option in a perfect picture but this approach is too expensive. 

See the images below for my proposed concept.
