It's cold tones, and without proper lighting they will become even cooler. In rooms located in the south, cold shades in the summer will literally cool the room, adding freshness to it.

The same applies to the width - this way the stripes will be easier to combine and fit to each other. You should not combine elite wallpaper with cheap ones.
