- Purple can be a challenging color to work with due to its divisiveness and difficulty in matching shades, making it best used sparingly in home decor.
- Incorporating perforated metal sheeting as a cohesive piece can help disguise unsightly ventilation holes in the kitchen while maintaining airflow.
- Using floor tiles instead of foam mats can provide a more adult-friendly, easy-to-clean solution for playroom flooring that can handle spills and stains.
