- Nostalgia can influence home decor choices, as seen in Betsy's
recent purchases of a record player and vintage items.
- Using floor tiles for a dining area rug is practical, but it
should define the dining space rather than outline the entire
room.
- Infusing personality and coziness into a home can be achieved by
adding color, pattern, and comfortable elements to avoid a sterile
look.
