- Prioritize the flow and functionality of your space by considering how frequently you use each area and adjusting room layouts accordingly.
- When redesigning a room with sentimental or mismatched furniture, focus on finding a cohesive inspiration piece and a two-word phrase to guide your design choices.
- In large, airy rooms with vaulted ceilings, balance light and dark elements by incorporating taller furniture and high-hung window treatments to draw the eye upward.
