- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a
luxe look; being your own interior designer is entirely
possible.
- When dealing with challenging spaces, it's crucial to
systematically try every possible layout before making any changes
to the room's structure.
- Incorporating three points of light at a human level can make a
room feel warmer and cozier, even if it's flooded with natural or
overhead light.
