- Affordable Interior Design now has a YouTube channel where
listeners can visualize the design concepts Betsy discusses on the
podcast.
- Betsy recommends using bold, eye-catching rugs and throw pillows
to refresh and personalize a space, especially in rental properties
with existing, less desirable furnishings.
- When decorating interconnected rooms, maintain a consistent color
palette but vary the dominant and accent colors to create cohesion
while allowing each room to have its own identity.
