Using large prints in the interior of a small room is not the best idea, as such a contrast can make the space even smaller.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , the above applies to all ornaments, from geometric to animalistic and plant motifs.

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of photo wallpaper. Images that occupy the entire wall, such as landscapes or views of the city at night, act similarly to large patterns – they visually make the space smaller.

To avoid unwanted effects, it is better to avoid large prints and opt for small and medium patterns.

For example, rare polka dots can fit perfectly into the interior of a small room. To avoid garishness, they can be combined with monochromatic surfaces. In addition, we can advise you to choose a single color scheme for the entire interior and, based on this, decide on a pattern that will be in this palette.

Well, what should those do who don’t want to change their plans under any circumstances?

If you see an exclusively large print in a small room, choose one that is neutral in tone - white, beige, gray, etc.

Those owners of tiny rooms who are determined to use photo wallpaper in the room should purchase drawings with perspective.
