Decorating your apartment in Woodland Hills can be challenging; here are some tips on how to use patterns and stripes to make any room look larger.<\/p>\n

Striped curtains can make a room look taller or wider depending on the orientation and striped bed spreads can give the illusion of a longer (or wider) bedroom. You can also use removal striped wall paper to have a similar affect. Horizontal stripes will make a room wider (select wider stripes in one or two colors) and vertical stripes make it look taller.<\/p>\n
Many people think that they can only use small patterns in a small room, but designers say the opposite is true. Use big bold patters as smaller patterns will make a room look busy. There are some great options in rugs and art work that make a focal point.
