Small room makeovers are big news this spring, and independent wallpaper design house Ohpopsi believes even the tightest spaces will benefit from a maximalist makeover.

Using data from Pinterest Trends, Ohpopsi has discovered that searches for the term ‘small living room inspiration’ are up 80% from the previous year, while ‘small full bathroom ideas’ are up 2,500% for the same period.

Zoe Eaton, Creative Director at Ohpopsi, said: “It is clear there is interest in creating stylish small spaces, and one of the easiest ways to inject character and personality is bold, patterned wallpapers.

“There is a myth that small spaces should be kept simple when it comes to décor but pattern can make a room feel bigger.

“Treat the room as a blank canvas and be as brave as your personality will allow.”

Here Zoe picks out her favourite Ohpopsi designs for small spaces.

BEST FOR MASTER BEDROOMS: MUTED SHADES
LARGE ELLIPSE IN FOSSIL
£73 per roll

The master bedroom is the perfect place to experiment with pattern, as it's typically the most private room in the home. But here is where colour is key.
Zoe said: "Patterns in muted tones are ideal for the master bedroom. No one wants a boring bedroom but it's really important to create a space where you can relax and unwind. While pattern will add character, a pared back colour scheme will ensure a restful environment."

BEST FOR ENTRANCE HALLS: STRIPES
SAKURA IN PEONY & JADE
£79 per roll

Hand-painted in watercolour and with a lovely tonal movement, the design of Sakura creates a soft modern stripe effect.
The vertical stripe, which is created by a beautiful springtime blossom, draws the eye upwards, making compact entrance halls feel more expansive. 
Zoe said: "Stripes are perfect for making a space feel bigger. A vertical stripe will give the impression of a taller ceiling."

BEST FOR BATHROOMS: ESCAPISM
FRAGMENTS IN TIGER & JADE

The bathroom is the perfect room in which to unwind and escape, and a plucky wallpaper design will help homeowners achieve that look. 
"Tiles are often the first choice when it comes to bathroom walls, but wallpaper should not be ruled out," said Zoe.
"Choose a design that makes your heart happy, so every time you run a bath or step into the shower the stress evaporates away."
