- You can create a luxe look without hiring a high-end designer
or spending a lot of money by becoming your own interior
designer.
- When choosing leather furniture, it's essential to understand the different types of leather, such as full grain, top grain, and bonded leather, to make a durable and functional investment.
- For open concept spaces, ensure that all areas share the same color palette and use consistent window treatments to create a unified look. -
