Idea 1: Strapped for space? Simple painting strategies can make your home seem larger than it really is.
Located only two miles from downtown Atlanta, Parkview combines big-city allure with a relaxed and comfortable style. The open floor plan is not enormous, yet the house still seems spacious.
To create this effect, the design team used similar colors on the walls to make the rooms flow together better. In this house, all the walls, trimwork, ceilings, and built-ins in the main living spaces are painted a cream hue to give the space continuity.
