Tip 2: Look for discounted furniture and appliances – if you are planning to buy some new furniture then be sure to look for warehouse sales where you can buy items at discounted prices.

Always compare prices so you can get most of your money’s worth.

Therefore, be sure to choose a suitable colour to enhance the mood and atmosphere in the room. You may also use variety of shades of the chosen colour to add character and to add beauty. For example, if you decided to choose blue then you may go for lighter shade of blue for the ceiling which will give the appearance of extra height.
