Dee August 11, 2012 at 12:22 PM: I love the tip for “Revamp Don’t Replace”: If the lack of separation drives you insane, use a tall shelving unit or bookcase to segment your space. The right item will help you create a living room or dining room where there used to be just, well, room. It will also provide extra storage and give you a place to display your décor.

Lisa Brown August 11, 2012 at 1:31 PM: My favorite tip: Revamp, Don’t Replace. Apartments are notorious for having open floor plans and minimal division. If the lack of separation drives you insane, use a tall shelving unit or bookcase to segment your space.

Kati C. August 12, 2012 at 1:03 PM: My favorite tip I found on their site was in the article “Say No to Clutter: How to Organize Your Home Office”. I love the idea of having a bright colored desk chair. It makes the work area a little more fun and it can help incorporate the desk into the other colors flowing in your room.
