- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a
luxe look; being your own interior designer is achievable with the
right tips.
- When selecting a coffee table, prioritize spatial relationships
and functionality over aesthetic appeal, ensuring it fits well
within the available space and complements the height of your
sofa.
- In small spaces, especially studios, avoid pushing all furniture
against the walls and incorporate softer, more organic elements to
create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
