Create a Lovely Living Room

Don't be afraid to go with a bold paint color for your walls. Dark colors don't have to be drab.
Be creative! For example, you can use a bookshelf as an entertainment center.
Try making your own window treatments by hemming fabric to size.
Update your room's look with accents, such as inexpensive pillows.
Paint over wood veneer—just use the right primer!
