- Wallpaper murals can make a bold statement in a
room, but it's crucial to choose a wall without many interruptions
like windows or outlets to maintain the visual impact.
- When mixing frame styles and types of art on a gallery wall, be
mindful to avoid creating a cluttered look by strategically
arranging and balancing the different elements.
- In a Victorian home with a lot of wood elements, consider neutral
tile flooring to complement the existing features and potentially
improve resale value.
