- You can achieve a luxurious look without a high-end designer
by carefully selecting and mixing textures, colors, and
finishes.
- Ceiling fans can be both practical and stylish, especially if
chosen in proportion to the room and with consideration to the
existing decor.
- When dealing with matching furniture sets, break up the
uniformity by introducing contrasting textures and colors through
accessories and additional pieces.
