- Avoid incorporating orange accents into your decor if you
dislike the existing orange-toned trim and woodwork in your
home.
- Opt for a neutral-colored sectional sofa to avoid overwhelming
your space with too much color, and consider performance fabrics to
withstand family wear and tear.
- For a cohesive design, balance warm and cool tones in your room
by using an inspiration piece to guide your color palette
choices.
