1. Having too many items on the walls: If your walls are covered in art and posters, it’s going to make your room look smaller and more cluttered than it is. To keep things looking spacious, use simple frames or hang one large piece of art over an entire wall instead of multiple smaller pieces.

Then, once you’ve gotten the hang of it, move on to bigger projects like redecorating a room or buying new furniture.

* Consider using one color as an accent throughout your house instead of trying to match every room exactly. This will give each room its own unique character without feeling too jarring or busy overall.
