4 Great Tips to Camouflage Your Home

Not all rooms are created equal.  If you have an odd shaped room or have walls that will never be smooth, there are some tricks of the trade that I have learned over the years to make the most of that space.

1)  Rooms can seem larger. Simple tricks such as selecting the same hue throughout a space will make awkward angles less obvious and spaces transition better. 

2)  Ceilings can seem taller and rooms bigger. Stripes can go either way.  On walls, horizontal stripes make a ceiling seem higher while vertical stripes or diamonds can make walls seem wider.

3)  Imperfect walls can disappear. Upholstery and plaster on walls can address worn surfaces.  Often, it is simpler and less expensive to simply apply a texture over cracked walls.

4)  Dress up the space. Chair rail and panels define a dining area or hallway area and gives it a level of sophistication all its own.  Stark white pillars near your front door, try a marble finish – I prefer beige tones – to define the space and create warmth.
