- A first proposal is to sort, segregate and discard. Many people have a habit of collecting things that they are necessary, sometimes only by the inertia of them together. These objects (be they furniture, paintings, papers or other things) that occupy a could often be used in other applications. We are not talking here about collectibles or involving special affection, but things which accumulate “haphazard” and without the person has a real intention of keeping them. But it is important to have a mastery of space, and restore areas that are not taken into account because they are busy with expendable objects, especially in small apartments where space is scarce. It’s a good idea to make an order of these objects with a realistic approach in terms of aesthetics and utility, and discard those that do not serve and occupy a treasured place. Simply empty the place brings a new air clears the air and renew the energy (we should remember that according to Feng Shui and other Eastern disciplines, all objects that stay unused, hinder the free flow of energy).

- A second proposal is encouraged to move things around.
Before thinking about furniture that has already ruled and values with new ones, try to change location. Many times, furniture or objects such as lamps and carpets
new meaning by placing them in another way. Experience grouping the furniture in other ways, and with other distribution. Be surprised to see how a new location adds value to its space objects and renews the look of these things, giving them another utility.

- A third idea is to appeal to the color and textures. No need to change everything, there are details that can change in an incredible way the perception of space, for example of an embellishment, curtains, rug, or folder, a box. Be encouraged to think about colors! For the 2007 season, for example, we see a return of neutral tones such as beige, black and white, as opposed to the frenzy of the maize and blue tones that were imposed strong for some time. Also imposed the bright lacquered chrome metal but dull (opaque).

- A fourth idea is to renew the look of furniture, which can also be made with little investment. There are some details that completely change the image of a cabinet. For example, giving it a different look if you replace the fittings, gives a patina or change the color of gloss. In chairs and armchairs, try cases and reupholstered. A sofa upholstered in patterned fabric and ornate sheath may be coated with a smooth, adding simplicity and present their lines. Lining furniture is something that totally changes the image and revalued. If you dare, you can take the front of the drawers with leather, achieving an effect completely different and very current. There are materials that offer many possibilities: the burlap, for example, often associated with pockets of low quality but can provide warmth and texture. For this first should assess whether the furniture “worth it” for its structure and conservation status. The picture frames are much more important than you think. Try changing the classic frame of a painting by a smooth dark wood and see how it changes completely the relationship of the image with the environment.

- A fifth idea is to renew the enlightenment, a critical component in this composition, because it can mitigate some colors and sectors, and enhance others. A spotlight area revalued. If there lies his favorite chair on a warm color folder, for example, have created a space where none existed before.
