The wall covering you choose can make a room appear bigger, warmer, and brighter (or the opposite) and even hide imperfect elements. So it makes sense to spend a little time considering the best option for your walls and for your house.
Take a Cue From Color
Color can set the mood in a room. To make a space appear larger and the ceiling higher, pick patterns with cool-color backgrounds, such as green, blue, or violet. Soft cool colors suggest tranquility, while intense cool colors are fresh and dramatic. Warm colors—reds, yellows, and oranges—live up to their name and make people feel warmer. These are a popular choice in colder climates and work well in north-facing rooms. The more intense the color, the more excitement it will give to a room.
