Paint just the windowsills. “To add tremendous atmosphere to any room, consider painting the windowsills and sashes,” says Concord-based color consultant Bonnie Krims. “The color doesn’t have to be bright or bold to make a big impact.” Krims suggests looking to furniture and accessories in the room to find the right shade of paint, and even bringing a favorite item to the paint shop to get the color right.
