- Opt for a media console that is slightly smaller than the full
width of your wall to avoid a cluttered or ill-fitting
appearance.
- Combine open and closed storage solutions in your mudroom to
accommodate both visual appeal and practical use for your
family.
- Use a mix of floor and table lamps to create balanced lighting in
rooms without overhead fixtures, avoiding direct light sources near
screens to reduce eye strain.
