How to Make a Small Space Feel Bigger

It’s not easy to spend your days feeling like you live inside of a fishbowl. Luckily, wallpaper is a beautiful, simple, and cost-effective way to refashion walls. Our durable removable wallpapers come in a wide range of patterns and colors. With the perfect match, even the teeniest of spaces will feel two times larger.

Here’s a quick guide on how to open up those small spaces:

How to make a small bedroom look bigger with wallpaper

• Keep it fresh: Modern wallpaper is a fantastic way to modernize your modest bedroom. If dull, old walls are getting you down, opt for a trendy new peel and stick wallpaper. These are easy to install, so your upgraded space will always be “in vogue!”
• Choose abstract patterns: We often neglect appropriately decorating the very space we spend 8 hours a day in – our bedroom. When it comes to small sleeping spaces, abstract patterns tend to be a calming choice. Repeating images do wonders to soften harsh edges. Removable wallpapers featuring curved shapes – like circles – will bend rigid lines. This tricks the eye and makes a small space look bigger overall.
• Polka dots for days: Nothing is more fun than polka dots! You can instantly grow a room with these minimalist designs. Dots are best for children’s bedrooms because they aren’t too distracting. Add a splash of spots for fun without drawing in visual clutter.

How to make a small room look bigger with wallpaper

• Get Vertical: Just like with clothes, vertical lines are slimming. Pick a wallpaper with stripes or a crisscross pattern. This will extend the length between the floor and ceiling, making the room feel up to a whole foot taller.
• Add an accent wall: Did you know that not every single wall needs to be re-done? If small space is an issue, consider picking only one wall to change. A bold geometric pattern can widen a doorway or elongate a room. It’s an illusion…but it works!
