      Don't be afraid to put window treatments around a breathtaking view. Just avoid bright colors and "frame the view with neutral curtains so the eye is drawn toward the windows," says Eisen. And if you face the "problem" of too much space, steal this page from her playbook: Buy two wooden dining room tables and cut the legs to make the table cocktail height. "Pushing them together fills up the space and gives the room instant function," she says.

      To construct your own cocktail table from a dining room table shop local thrift stores and snag a great value. Or, head to your neighborhood super store.
