Angie's List: Adding More Space

Reported by: John Matarese
Moving up to a big house is so out these days: Fixing up yours is in.
Thats according to the consumer guide "Angie's List" ...which says many homeowners just want extra space.
"Angie Hicks says: "In an Angie's List poll, half would like to have more space in their home. 1/3 would like to move, but with the recent hosing problems, they're considering staying, knocking out walls, and hiring interior decorators for help."
Angie says an interior decorator is not as expensive as you think, because they get huge discounts.
But if you want to add space yourself, without taking down walls, Angie says:
Uncover windows to make a room larger.
Avoid dark prints on curtains and couches.
Avoid small wall pictures.
And add light to a room....and it will look and feel much bigger. For information on joining Angie's List, click the link above.
