Choose a shade or two from a paint strip for a subtle variation for each room.
4. Arrange Sofas And Chairs
Arrange your furniture in a manner that your sofa talks to your chairs.

Mirrors can make a space appear larger and brighter because they reflect the light around the room. Hang the mirror in such a way that it is perpendicular to the window and not directly across. Putting a mirror opposite a window can in fact bounce the light in the room.
