Window dressing

Take your pick from cotton or silk to polyester or sheer material. Curtains today can be used to achieve any kind of look -- warm and laid back, or sophisticated and chic. While making your selection, take into consideration the purpose of the room and your personal taste.

Highlight a wall

Draw attention to a wall with the help of a mirror. One with a bronze rim will lend it an ornamental look. On the opposing wall, place plants, flowers or anything bound to generate a pleasant view. Ashwini remembers using this idea at a client's home. "A mirror was placed on a wall that faced the sea. So, even if you had your back to the window, the view was pleasant."
