windows with Energy
Star-rated glass are
more efficient than the
1970s originals, and the
trim never has to be
painted. Plus, they can
be ordered to the size
of the existing opening,
which saves on
installation costs.

nite the Spaces
y thought she wanted to divide the living and dining
eas with columns. But at just 350 square feet, the space
would have looked too choppy. Running the paneling and
wall color around both rooms creates a horizontal line
that helps the eye perceive one larger space rather than
separate smaller ones. At shoulder height, instead of the
usual halfway up the wall, the paneling envelops people
seated in the room, making the space more inviting.
LIGHT BREAK
A floor lamp acts as a
visual divider between
the living and dining
rooms. Its industrial
styling brings a modern
element to the space.
