- No matter your age or previous career, the skills and
experiences you've gained can be valuable assets in starting a new
venture in interior design.
- Opt for contrasting colors and avoid a monochromatic brown and
beige palette to create a more dynamic and visually appealing
space.
- Consider mid-tier options like blinds.com or Smith and Noble for
quality and affordable window treatments that offer a balance
between custom and budget-friendly solutions.
