"It's good to have a combination so you can
control the light in different situations."
Old thinking dictates that a small space
should be light colored to help it appear big-
ger. Not necessarily, says Johnson, who loves
to add punch to a powder room with a fun
and unexpected wallpaper since people don't

leaning towards utilizing geometrical and
metallic wallpaper trends, reminiscent of the
famed English designer David Nightingale
Hicks, that have been showing up as of late.
The possibilities for taking advantage of
small spaces are endless, and we have just
touched on a few of the basics. So have fun,
be bold, and with minimal effort you too can
give maximum impact to the unused areas of
your home.
