- Consider wall-mounted cabinets or sliding panels to conceal
your TV, and create other focal points in the room like interesting
art or styled bookcases to draw attention away from it.
- Use easy-to-navigate online tools like the Ashley Home Furniture
Room Planner, Roomstyler, or Canva for creating floor plans and
mood boards, or go old-school with a scale ruler for hand-rendered
plans.
- Before undertaking any renovations to sell your property, consult
with a real estate agent and contractor to evaluate costs,
potential returns, and whether a price reduction might be a more
effective strategy.
