McAloon uses the larger antique furniture to divide the room into two distinct areas and to create a 'hallway' feel between the spaces. The furniture gets a touch up with restoring finish to make it shine again. McAloon also repeats colors and fabrics to visually unite the two spaces. When you have a small room, the more the eye stops, the more cluttered it feels. Keep furniture fabrics in the same color family as the walls to help the eye move over them. The less busyness in a room, the bigger it feels.

We regret that paint specifics are not available for this episode.
