Color: Natural ColorsChoose colors that will go as well together in your home as they do in nature. The right shades of blue and green can be as soothing as gray or beige, but much more contemporary. One way to add interest is to reverse the idea of color on the walls underlined with white trim-pick a creamy color for the walls, and use blue or green paint for the doors and trim.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Home Dressing AreasYou may not have a spare bedroom that you can use as a closet, but you can incorporate some features into the closet space you have. Utilize all space up to the ceiling, with pull-down shelves for easy access.
