different rooms
- Reusing furniture effectively in a new space involves
considering the architecture and possibly repurposing items for
different uses.
- Avoid using anxiety-inducing colors like red in bedrooms and
instead opt for softer textures and dimmable lighting to create a
cozy atmosphere.
- When designing with warm-toned wood and light yellow walls,
incorporate cool colors like greens, blues, and purples to balance
the warmth and use highly patterned rugs to hide stains from kids
and pets.
