Painting this built-in bookcase the same color as the walls makes the small living area look bigger because it doesn't interrupt visual movement throughout the space. The shelves provide a perfect backdrop for brightly colored accent pieces. Just don't overdo it with accessories or you'll start to crowd-and thus shrink-the space.

Integrated Cabinets
These homeowners designed this kitchen using the concept of integrated space. Visually the kitchen, rimmed with a boomerang-curved bar, is a seamless extension of the living and dining rooms. Can't spot the refrigerator? That's the idea. Panels of maple with insets of bird's-eye maple disguise the appliance. - Dream Time
