Paint everything white.

Windows aren't the only way to create a light, bright space. For this Portland, OR, remodel by designer Max Humphrey, "everything was painted white in a satin finish, so there's a slight sheen to the whole space for light to bounce off of." He added the feeling of height with vertical shiplap.

Go wild with wallpaper.

"It feels like you are inside a painting," says designer Gray Walker from Gray Walker Interiors of the graphic Pierre Frey wallpaper she chose for this compact laundry area. "Making an ordinary space unordinary is the key."

Create a play paradise.
