6. Your curtains are too low
If you believe that the curtains in your living room should be placed exactly where your window starts, let us tell you that you are wrong! That is because it can make your room look smaller, shorter, and tighter.
There is a way you can make it better! For example, you should hang your curtains three to eight inches higher than your windows, because it will draw the attention upward, making your room appear taller and airier.
However, keep in mind that your curtains have to be long enough in order to do so because otherwise, you will risk making everything look cheap and childish. Your curtains should be long enough to almost touch the floor without pooling.
…Tip: Lighter colors can make a room appear more welcoming and sunnier. If you have no idea what to choose, ivory is always a good option!
I liked the tips, especially about furniture proportions and lighting. Thanks.
What a good variety of ideas.
I hadn’t really realized I had a themed living room. I thought SW, but it’s more AmerIndian. Plans to change it out slightly.
The first 3 ideas are the ones I’ll be implementing first. I never think I have enough pillows. They and my artwork are the “color” in the living room. But, I’ve noticed my guests always moving them off of the furniture.
You hit on the things that I’ve been taking for granted/not noticing.
Thank you.
Kitchen flooring. Vinyl or tile??
I have never heard of scones lighting before. I am assuming you mean sconses. Found most everything interesting though.
