Ideas for small spaces: Before & after living room: White paint + colorful stripes

Painting windowsills white is a classic decorating trick -- it makes the windows seem bigger and brighter. Notice, too, that the scale of the lamps matches the sloped ceiling (the lamp on the right is taller), and that the pictures are hung at different heights, as well. The colorful rugs and warm gray walls make the small room feel cozy, not oppressive.
