"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."
"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
collection.
"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."
