- Finding an inspiration image and using a Pinterest board can
help narrow down and define your personal style when designing your
space.
- Using bold colors and large patterns can make a transitional
style more exciting and prevent it from feeling dull or boring.
- For a cohesive look in large spaces, it's best to use the same
flooring throughout rather than mixing different types, and
considering the existing architectural elements like stained wood
ceilings can guide your choice.
