Fat or Tall?

Are horizontal lines on wallpaper fattening?Yes, yes they are. It is the same with vertical lines on wallpaper being heightening. The true question is, does one want the room to look fat or tall?

That is purely up to personal taste, and in my opinion and taste a fat room is a good room.

You see, fat rooms mean more depth of space to put stuff. Shelves, seats, shiny things, more space for all of it!

And yes, I know that one could put very tall shelves in a tall room. However, it is hard to see the things on the taller part of the shelves. That means I cannot enjoy my stuff, which I may or may not hoard, and thus the tall shelves are useless to me!

Fat rooms mean more places to put things at a more comfortable and convient level for viewing said things. And as a master of having lots (and perhaps to many) stuffs, having more spots to look at the stuff is good.

In short, horizontal stripes on wallpaper do make rooms look fat and I am an enjoyer of fat rooms.
