"People should paint. And
I don't mean paint one
wall," says Santos. "I think
they should paint their
homes. Think about it: It is
really, per square foot, the
cheapest way to make the
biggest statement in your
home." Ready to take the
leap? Santos recommends
Benjamin Moore's new
Williamsburg paint

"Map your home to how
you actually want to live
versus how you think it
should be laid out," says
Santos. He suggests
choosing furniture that
really caters to your
lifestyle. In his own
apartment, Santos skipped
a dining table for a great
bar cart and lots of seating.
"I don't sit down and eat
dinner," he says. "I go out
or I have people over for
cocktails."
3 tips to make your
home happy:
"Add dimmers to your
light switch," says Santos,
a self-proclaimed
dimmer junkie. "Getting
an electrician in your
home, it's like $40 or
$50. You can take your
apartment from day to
night. If I have people
over, I don't have to go
buy 50 different candles
and set my place on fire
— I can just dim the light."
