• Show off those architectural details! Paint crown moldings and baseboard trim a lighter or darker color than the walls.
   

• If you have an open floor plan, or a room visible from another room, consider painting all the trim—around windows, baseboards, and crown moldings—the same color throughout all the adjoining spaces. This will bring a cohesive, pulled together look to all the visible rooms in your space.
   

• Good design is flexible in function and does two or more things at the same time. Two padded storage ottomans pulled together make a great coffee table, can be used for extra seating, and will store pillows, a throw, or toys.
   

• Hanging a mirror opposite a window not only reflects light and the outdoors, but also makes the whole space seem bigger. Having an Interior Refinement™ performed by a qualified specialist can help you pull together the hidden great design in your space.
   

• Consider painting the walls of a visible connecting room the same color as the room it’s connected to, but 1 to 2 shades lighter or darker. This will make each room feel different yet have a visual flow.
   

• Downplay small dark rooms by painting walls shades of white, pastel yellow or blue, which will give an instant airy look and feel. If you’re not sure what paint color to choose, be sure to call Color My Space for a Color Refinement™ before you start. This will save you time and money by not repainting a room several times.
