When thinking of what color to paint your bedroom, remember that the bedroom is a place forrelaxation and calmness. Bright colors, like pinks and purples, do not give off a feeling of relaxation.Instead, you should try to stick to more neutral colors, like beiges, whites, grays and light browns.

Install more cabinets. Cabinets can be worked into just about any room. They are a handy fixture tohave around the house. More cabinet space cuts down on clutter, and unlike more shelf space, itkeeps your things out of sight. More storage space is always a handy thing to have.

Hanging a collection of picture frames on a wall can be hassle-free. Place a large brown craft paperon the floor or table and arrange all the frames on it.

Paint or varnish old furniture before replacing it. That side table that you want to toss out? Try asilver varnish on it first and see if you like it better. Sometimes all you need to create a new look is aquick varnish or paint. Get creative, and even think about using a stencil. You may find you like thenew look of that old furniture!

If you want to make a room look bigger, use softer and lighter colors. An apartment, in particular,benefits well from this type of technique. The right colors are imperative to creating the illusion ofspace.
