- Investing in functional furniture, like a shoe bench with
storage, can significantly enhance the practicality of narrow
entryways.
- Exploring historical sites and architecture can provide
unexpected design inspiration and a deeper appreciation for
different styles and eras.
- When choosing design software, consider user-friendly options
like Icovia for floor planning, especially if you're primarily
focusing on furniture layout rather than detailed architectural
work.
