apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Wallpaper that has some perspective depth in the pattern can also make a room look larger.

I concur! Wallpaper can be great in a small space. In my own 500-square-foot home, I've gotten great strokes for the bold silver and taupe floral on my walls (you can see a photo here). While I was initially afraid of adding other patterns in the room, I realized that, as long as I unified the color scheme -- in my case, browns, taupes, and oranges -- the wallpaper could act as a fantastic backdrop that provided visual interest and depth in such a tiny space.

if i do get the guts to submit my apartment for Small Cool by the 14th, you'll see my dramatic wallpaper section. ;-)

check out the bright graphic wallpaper that I just put up above the chair rail in my all-white kitchen!
