- Eggshell paint is ideal for heavily used rooms due to its
durability and ease of cleaning, but it reveals imperfections on
the walls, whereas matte paint hides flaws but is harder to
clean.
- To determine the correct size of artwork to hang above a couch,
its width should be 50-75% of the couch's length, ensuring the
piece is proportionate to the furniture.
- When dealing with exposed pipes under a sink, opting for a new
vanity cabinet that conceals the pipes is a more elegant solution
than using a skirt, which can appear outdated.
