- Mirrors in windowless rooms should be used with intention and
should not be placed in areas that double undesirable views, such
as laundry rooms.
- To avoid a room looking monotonous with multiple shades of brown,
introduce contrasting tones, patterns, or colors, especially in
rugs and accent pieces.
- In an open concept layout, avoid cluttering with multiple case
pieces and instead opt for impactful artwork and plants to create a
sophisticated and comfortable environment.
