THE TOP TEN WAYS TO GIVE
YOUR
HOUSE AN INSTANT FACE-LIFT
- Brighten rooms: Shades of white
account for 50 percent of paint sales, and for good reason: It's
refreshing, restful and all furnishings look good with that color.
- Rearrange living room furniture:
Begin by pulling the sofa into the center of the room, facing a
fireplace or picture
window.
- Reevaluate uses of rooms: A rarely
used guest bedroom or dining room can be converted into a home office.
- Use standing screens to mask
problem areas: Tri-fold screens are one way to hide eyesores (like home
office equipment).
- Fill an empty corner: Place a
large potted
tree in the corner with a canister light that sits on the floor.
- Create intriguing centerpieces: If
collectibles or framed family photos are spread throughout a room,
group them together.
- Refurbish cabinets: Strip and
refinish old, dark wood. Add new handles or knobs. Replace doors with
glass fronts or consider removing them.
- Get rid of heavy drapes: Replace
with fabrics that blend with surrounding walls. Add tiebacks on each
side.
- Apply self-adhesive wallpaper
borders: Use them to brighten up a child's room or a bathroom.
- Cover a wall with mirror tiles:
This is ideal for bathrooms, entries, and other small, dark rooms that
lack impact.
