Choose Wallpaper in bright colours and delicate Patterns

For small spaces, it is always a good idea to choose light-coloured wallpapers that reflect light and make the interior appear brighter and more spacious. Delicate patterns work well in a small space: subtle polka dots, stars or dots, e.g.:. Large checked wallpaper in pastel colours: SIMPLE irregular check pattern wallpaper white.

Colours such as white, pastels or delicate patterns can optically enlarge a space. Remember to combine such decorations with lightweight furniture and accessories in similar tones to achieve a harmonious décor. (Photo: Woodlack furniture).

Architectural tip: Natural light plays a key role in small rooms, so it is important to have large windows.

Vertical Stripes Wallpaper

We won't discover America when we write that stripes are a great tool to optically enlarge a room. All women know very well the power of stripes, especially when it comes to clothes, Yes dear ladies - stripes slim and elongate not only our waist, but also our flats.

Wallpaper with borders optically enlarges the space

The latest hit in the design of children's rooms is wall panelling and stuccowork. English stucco is particularly popular. If you are also a fan of classic motifs, be sure to try a combination of panelling with Dekornik wallpaper. Both simple motifs and wallpapers with flowers (in the room of Maja Bohosiewicz's daughter), as well as the checked pattern, about which we wrote more: HERE

Just look at how wallpaper laid halfway up the wall in combination with a border helps to create the impression of more space. Below is a photo of the bed with our Dekornik Simple Vintage Stripes Beige Brown wallpaper.

Monochrome patterns and contrasting accessories

When you want to optically enlarge a small room, it's a good idea to go for solid, monochrome wallpaper patterns that won't overwhelm the space.

On the other hand, to add some contrast and visual interest, you can go for contrasting accessories such as colourful cushions, rugs, paintings or posters: Here we recommend our original cherry posters.

Textured imitation wallpaper

We borrowed this photo from an architect at @Select Design, who designed her daughter's room using our wallpaper: Birch Forest. In this arrangement, this tasteful combination of lattice and vintage-style furniture is stunning. The room smells of wood and has such an idyllic atmosphere.

Like on holiday at grandma's in the countryside. In a room arranged in this way, your child will certainly sleep well, as he or she will not be over-stimulated by the colours. The tones used have been chosen to have a soothing effect on the senses.

Large-scale patterns

Wallpaper with large, repeating patterns can effectively help to 'visually deceive'. Therefore, if you have a small child's room to design, you don't have to be afraid of large patterns on the wall at all.

Large-format patterns in the Dekornik wallpaper shop, such as large flowers, leaves or geometric shapes, can become the focal point of a room. Such decorations are an effective distraction from the small size of the room. For example, below we present the beautiful Patrycja Soltysik among Dekornik's leaf wallpaper.

Leaves on the walls always add lightness.

Such natural patterns effectively pretend to be open spaces, like gardens, meadows - fooling our senses. With this wallpaper you can feel like you are in the Jungle. The leaves wallpaper is presented by Andrzej Soltysik's beautiful wife Pati Soltysik.

Patterns with small flowers

Wallpaper with flowers is a popular decorative choice for children's rooms. In addition to their natural girlish charm, they also have another advantage - they help to enlarge the space.

Especially wallpapers with small flowers or leaves give a pleasant light effect to the room. Let a great example of such a wallpaper ideal for a small room be: the Mini Mini leaf wallpaper. This repetitive pattern, gives the impression of continuity and thus optically enlarges the tiny room.

Architect's tip: When choosing wallpaper for a small room, remember to choose flowers on a pastel, light background. Such colours help to reflect light, which makes the room appear brighter and therefore larger.

Designs with small flowers often have straight, regular lines, which can have the effect of visually stretching a space. These lines can lead the eye along a wall, adding to the impression of a longer and more spacious room.[/caption].
