- Moving into a space that doesn't align with your style
requires finding ways to blend your personal taste with existing
elements, such as using a "two-word" phrase to guide your design
choices.
- When dealing with a long, dark hallway, consider runner rugs,
strategic artwork placement, and possibly adding pendant lights to
create visual interest and cohesion.
- Introducing a new accent color should be inspired by an
"inspiration piece" that you truly love, ensuring the color palette
remains cohesive and reflective of your evolving taste.
