Unfavourable room layouts can be visually corrected with the right striped wallpaper: longitudinal strips for low ceilings; horizontal stripes for high rooms; narrow light stripes for small rooms; wide, brightly coloured stripes for large rooms.
Low ceilings
A low ceiling benefits from a vertical stripe design in light colours, optionally with glossy effects. This makes the room appear significantly higher. The width and density of the stripes should be chosen in accordance with the specific room size.
High ceilings
Wallpaper with horizontal stripes visually brings the ceiling down and widens the room. Darker colours are a good choice as their dominance enhances the effect.
Small rooms
Narrow, vertical stripes provide the perfect solution for small rooms. A mix of wide and narrow stripes is also an effective option. Natural colours, cream hues, pastels and other light colours visually widen the room. Tone-in-tone gradations have a harmonious effect.
Large rooms
A spacious room can accommodate large-scale vertical and horizontal stripe patterns, preferably in intense colours. Stripes with a colour gradient or batik look are also a great idea. Stylistically unusual, colourful stripes can make a large room appear smaller and cosier. They also add movement and depth.
