1.Hang a Gallery of Photos
You can dedicate a wall section or space for this. Ensure you pick a theme: weddings, family, birthday parties pictures and put them in identical or stylish frames that complement each other. Hang in a tight grid or a long line. Bottom line, Be creative!
2. A Mirror
Tight spaces tend to expand and rooms seem a lot roomier when you prop up a large mirror at least three-fourths as tall as the wall. You can go for really stylish mirrors to beautify the house.
3. Pump Up the Color
Painting a room is a great way to instantly makeover a room without spending much. Colors are the classic makeover potion. If you don’t want to repaint a whole room, you can just paint one wall in a focal color or paint a contrasting but complementing color for your gallery space. You can also paint the insides of bookshelves in a different color or paint your ceiling a lighter version of the wall color. You can perk up a dull room with vibrant colors like green or by just simply adding a colorful rug. For those who don’t fancy vibrant colors, you can intensify the cozy factor in your home by painting your walls a dark and dramatic color, anything from charcoal grey to chocolate brown to even black.
