- Creating different zones within a space can help improve its
functionality and atmosphere, especially in small or multi-use
areas.
- Choosing a rich neutral wall color can provide a cozy and
sophisticated contrast to white trim and furniture, avoiding a cold
or institutional feel.
- Using an inspiration piece, such as a large artwork, can help
drive the color palette and overall design direction of a room,
ensuring cohesiveness and harmony.
