Add space and beauty simply by following these three rules:
1. Declutter by putting mail in an attractive basket. Minimize your knick-nacks.
2. Put a tall vase of flowers on the kitchen table. Height creates a feeling of elevation. Yellow is a luminous spring color and is associated with happiness and optimism!
3. Lighten a dark room with a neutral or light-tint paint. Add personality and splashes of bright color using a fun set of pillows, vases of flowers, or a new accent rug.
