In general, dark colors make a room appear smaller while light papers do the reverse.

Don’t necessarily opt for a small subtle pattern for a small room. Often a large-scale motif can create the illusion that your room is larger than it really is.

To give your walls some pizzazz, designers recommend that you combine two patterns, one for the top half and one for the bottom half, using a coordinating border to separate them.

If you cannot afford to wallpaper an entire room, you can still spruce up a room with a border. Used creatively, borders can give a room dimension and create interesting architectural details where none exist.

Borders aren’t restricted to just walls these days. They can add color and style to a room when used to trim, windows, fireplaces, mantels or door panels.

An ideal solution for bumpy or heavily damaged walls is the use of fabric. Sometimes the fabric can be applied directly to the wall’s surface, but usually a layer of batting or thin foam rubber is applied to make the wall smooth.

Commercial fabric wall coverings usually come with paper backing and can be applied directly to the wall with wall covering adhesive.
