24:01 Outro and call for listener input
- Accent walls often signify hesitation in making a bold design
statement, detracting from the overall impact of a space.
- Cherry-stained wood and other warm-toned woods can appear dated
and lack broad appeal, making cooler wood tones a more versatile
choice.
- Avoid using clip rings for curtains as they give off a dorm room
or DIY aesthetic, detracting from a polished and cohesive look.
