18:01 Thank you and closing remarks
- Blues, grays, and beiges are popular because they are
accessible and unobtrusive, making them a safe starting point for
clients afraid of bold colors.
- Contrasting nightstands with a cherry wood bed help avoid a
monotonous look and create a visually interesting bedroom
setup.
- Black tile can work in a small bathroom but should be kept off
the floor due to its tendency to show dirt and dust easily.
