In
general, light colors add a feeling of spaciousness. In
particular, striped wallcoverings are a sure bet for adding
height to a room. Stripes visually raise the height of
the ceiling by drawing the eye upward. |

At
the same time, pastel colors broaden the room, and make
the expanse of the wall seem larger. Together, subtle
stripes and pastel colors can make a room seem bigger
overall by drawing the eye both upward and sideways. |

If
you want to achieve a feeling of spaciousness in a small
area, a hallway or throughout an entire room, stick to
neutral and light colors. |

 |
|
So
the best way to achieve an open feeling is with light
or neutral colors in a widely spaced pattern, like diamonds
or mid-sized flowers, with lots of white space in between.
This gives an airy, open feeling to the room. |
