I often get calls from people who want to change their space, but do not necessarily have the budget for a complete and total makeover.
My answer to that is: PAINT! It is an inexpensive - yet powerful - way to change the mood of an entire room. Don't be afraid to be bold!
Intense colors such as Cranberry, Chocolate, and Mustard are all gorgeous colors on a wall, and add so much interest to an otherwise ordinary room. It is a dramatic way to give a room a warm yet bold statement that will make that old beige sofa pop.
Decorating your home is a lot like accessorizing an outfit. A neutral color dress is nice, but doesn't nearly make the impact as adding bold color shoes, purse, belt, or accessories to that dress. That is what really completes the outfit. You should dress your home the same way. Adding intense color to your walls and/or accessories is a lot less expensive than changing all your furniture, and it can make a huge impact on the mood of a room.
Don’t be afraid of color – have fun with it! Changing your wall color is a lot less expensive than changing all your furniture, and it can make a big impact on the mood of a room.

DESIGNER TIP: Painting your ceilings the same color as the walls will make your room appear taller.
