Air It Out
Like Marie Kondo said it best, let’s spark joy. Get that vitamin D coming in, draw the curtains up let the natural lighting in and you will see your mood livens up.
Unless you’re a vampire, let’s not block the lighting with dark curtains. Go for lighter shades to maximise the light. This works for smaller windows as well.
Downsizing
Bigger is not necessarily better. Try to go for two small coffee table instead of one huge surface. Small tables let you move the traffic flow better, especially when Uncle Bob and his whole family decides to visit. If you want the room to look more spacious go for rectangular or oval coffee tables. They will work best. Get your own Malmo Carsyn Round Coffee Table for RM299 at Hip Van
