Hints for Papering Rooms
In papering a room it is well to remember that a room having a cold north light should be furnished in warm colors, and that a dark room should be clothed in sharp, light shades; that borders of any kind lessen, by sharply defining the corners of a room, the apparent size of a room. In a small room small patterns should be used. Lines running from ceiling to floor give the effect of height, while lines running around a room lessen the effect of height. - New York Journal
