- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a luxe look; be your own interior designer with a big design and a small budget.
- When hanging art, aim for museum height with the center of the piece at 60 inches from the floor to create an optimal visual balance.
- Incorporating a variety of textures and elements like wood, stone, metal, and glass can enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of your space.
