- Etsy can be a great source for art if you use specific search
terms and save your favorite stores to receive tailored
recommendations.
- To determine the size of art above furniture, use the 50-75%
width rule based on the furniture's typical state, whether open or
closed.
- Creating a functional room starts with identifying all the room's
necessary functions and ensuring the layout accommodates them
before considering aesthetics.
