Make Your Room Look Larger!

Recently, I was reading Domino Magazine.  In the "Ask Dara" column a client was torn between "old-home charm and the low-maintenance appeal of newer structures."  She was hoping to get some recommendations to give a new home the character and style of an older home.  Dara Caponigro, style director of the magazine, suggested smaller "human sized rooms", 9’ or 10’ ceilings, and wide plank floors.  She writes, "You’ll be surprised how this can completely change the quality of an interior".  (See the difference the wider boards make in the room above.) She also suggests staining floors a medium or dark color and installing baseboards and crown molding to complete the look.  Well said, Dara!   For more decorating tips, check out http://www.dominomag.com/
