Do you dream of a light, airy living space?

Achieve the desired effect with these simple tips:

Paint it white. Two coats of white paint will turn your living space into a year-round winter wonderland.

Minimize. Cut clutter by adding hidden storage systems. Minimize furniture to a handful of necessary pieces.

Add mirrors. In addition to wall mirrors, add mirrored backsplashes or mirrored trays. Not into mirrors? Sparkle can do the trick, too.

Lighten the linens. Breezy, airy curtains will make your space seem plush and comfortable.

Incorporate shades of gray. Add soft, light shades of gray or blue to your color scheme.
