- Consider two-tone kitchen cabinets to balance aesthetic appeal
with practicality, especially in high-use areas like
kitchens.
- Mixing wood tones in furniture and decor can create a cohesive
rustic feel, but be mindful of matching or complementing
surrounding elements like floors and countertops.
- When designing a space, ensure that prominent fixtures like
pendant lights and hardware are consistent with the overall metal
finishes to avoid visual dissonance.
