- You can achieve a luxurious look without spending a fortune by
being your own interior designer with a focus on big design and a
small budget.
- When choosing rug materials, consider the pros and cons of each
type, such as the plushness and shedding of wool, the durability
and affordability of polyester, and the natural texture and
affordability of jute and sisal.
- To avoid a "shrine" of wedding photos, mix in a variety of other
images and artworks, and use different types of decor on your walls
and shelves to create a balanced and interesting display.
