- Textiles like throw pillows, rugs, and drapes can easily and
affordably transform a space by adding color, pattern, and
texture.
- Opt for synthetic rugs with patterns to conceal stains and
maintain an interchangeable, low-maintenance floor covering.
- Incorporating more lighting, especially through floor lamps and
drapes, can significantly enhance a room's ambiance and make it
feel brighter and more inviting.
