- Gray paint is best suited for modern aesthetics, while a
griege (gray-beige) can work better for traditional or transitional
styles.
- In open-concept spaces like basements, it's ideal to use the same
paint color throughout to maintain visual continuity, using area
rugs to define separate zones.
- For nurseries, essential furniture includes a crib, changing
table, dresser, and hamper, while optional pieces like gliders
should be chosen based on personal preference and practical
considerations.
