- Incorporating outdoor decor that complements your home's
interior color scheme can create a cohesive visual flow between
indoor and outdoor spaces.
- For rental properties, budget-friendly hacks like using IKEA
Billy bookcases can offer a temporary yet stylish solution without
the financial commitment of built-ins.
- Balancing warm and cool tones in open-concept spaces can be
achieved by treating walls consistently and avoiding accent walls
that draw unwanted attention to less desirable features.
