For example,a sofa arranged diagonally across a narrow living room will makethe room look wider. 2.Paint A Wall- Paint one wall yourfavorite color and make it the focal point. Hang interesting arton that wall and move a nice piece of furniture there. (Note:Make sure that the color is one that is shared with severalother objects and fabrics in the room.) 3.Bring In Plants-Greenery always adds a breath of fresh air to a room.
