- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to
achieve a luxurious look in your home.
- If you can't find inspiration or items you like among thousands
of options, it might be a sign that what you're looking for doesn't
exist or isn't realistic within your budget.
- For comfortable and well-built sleeper sofas, consider brands
like Room & Board, Crate & Barrel, and American Leather, and always
test them out in person if possible.
