It doesn’t take much to enhance your space. Making these few simple shifts will have a large impact.

#1 Curtain Placement

The best way to hang curtains is floor to ceiling, it gives an illusion that a space is larger. It is a similar concept to wearing high waisted pants that go all the way to the top of your foot. It elongates the body and makes you look taller and slimmer. Wearing low and cropped pants cuts the line of the body. This is how curtains work as well.

#2 Plants and Flowers

Plants and fresh flowers add life to a space and can change the feel dramatically. Just don’t go overboard with this and look like a plant hoarder.

#3 Lighting

Lighting is so important. Everyone looks good against the warm glow of candlelight or during golden hour at sunset. Your home is no different. The right lighting can make a simple space look sexy. I’m a huge fan of dimmer switches that way you can adjust the lighting according to the time of day and the mood.

#4 White Space

Allow there to be some breathing room or white space between objects on surfaces. Shelves and counters that are jam packed with things causes visual clutter in a space that isn’t pleasant to look at.

#5 Soap Dispensers

All high end and stylish homes have beautiful soap dispensers. It is such a small detail that has a big impact.

#6 Fresh Air

Stuffy rooms don’t feel good. On nice days keep the windows open to allow for some fresh airflow. If you live in a congested city try using an air purifier instead to freshen the air.
