Warm up a large space by painting large stripes of alternating gloss and flat paint on one wall.

Add storage that is functional and fashionable: leather ottomans that can serve as coffee tables, built-in bookshelves and entertainment centers.

Add dramatic lighting. Instead of ceiling fans with lights and track lighting, use sconces that look like lanterns and modern chandeliers.

Hang photos vertically on walls to accentuate the architecture of your space.
