Style Secret: Open SpaceWide swaths of space and unobstructed sight lines give minimalist interiors their restful appeal. If your architecture doesn't follow this pattern, and if your time and budget allow, consider minor (or major) remodeling to streamline the flow of your space. Or you can fake it with a little sleight of hand: Paint all the walls, ceilings and trim the same color to create the impression of openness, or look for opportunities to create visual echoes, such as a progression of identical light fixtures or a trio of overscale, simply framed black and white photos. Softer side: Open space doesn't have to feel cavernous and hollow. Warm it, if you like, by breaking up a few surfaces. In this corridor and living area, for example, a neutral rug, a few artfully positioned furnishings, a mirror and pendant lights help to make the setting seem more intimate.More decorating styles
