- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a
luxe look; being your own interior designer is possible with the
right guidance.
- For a high-traffic area with allergies, consider using Flor.com
tiles for a customizable, low-profile rug solution that won't upset
your sensitivities.
- Incorporating travel souvenirs into your decor is best done by
mixing them with more generic items and spreading them throughout
different areas to avoid an overly cluttered or "bazaar-like"
appearance.
