Change out the standard trim to something with more substance. A 6" high baseboard and 3" to 4" wide casing is the new standard

Replace your standard ceiling mount lights for something more attractive:

Add simple paneling to a feature wall or whole room. You can paint the paneling out in the wall color to create a subtle look, or paint the molding in your trim color for a more contrast
