1 Paint can transform the look of a room.
Experiment with colors and be creative when tackling ceilings, walls, windows, doors, trim and baseboards.
2 Remove old wallpaper that can make a home look older than it is. Consider using a professional steamer to avoid harmful chemicals.
3 Add depth with wainscoting.
There are a myriad of choices in size and styles to place wainscoting part way up a wall to make a room appear larger.
4 Put down tile in the kitchen or bath.
There are many choices and price ranges. Some homeowners use tile throughout the main areas of the house for a sophisticated look that makes the house seem larger.
