It depends on your space. If you have a low ceiling it can elongate your room if done correctly. Broad stripes will make your room appear smaller. The idea behind stripes when used to make a room appear larger or smaller is narrow strips pull the eye up and down, but a thick stripe makes the eye concentrate more which completely dimenishes the effect you were going for.

Vertical stripes make an object appear longer (or taller). Horizontal stripes will give the appearance of width.
