The choice of coverage for different rooms

In small-sized kitchens, to expand the space, it is worth using light-colored wallpapers in cold shades. Perfect fit beige tones.

Vertical stripes visually increase the height of the ceiling, transverse stripes expand the space. You can use wallpaper with a smooth change of colors, which will allow you to enjoy the look of the walls for a long time.
