- A new certification program is being developed to teach
practical, retail-focused interior design skills that are often not
covered in traditional design schools.
- When considering major home renovations, focus on what makes
sense for your lifestyle and budget rather than just resale value,
especially if you plan to stay in the home for a long time.
- Painting exposed brick can be a tough decision due to its
permanence, but sometimes boxing it out with sheetrock or painting
it to match the wall color can create a more cohesive and
aesthetically pleasing look.
