- Investing in your home decor can sometimes lead to unexpected
results, so it's important to manage your expectations and be
prepared for compromises.
- In small spaces, not every piece of furniture needs to be
multifunctional; sometimes simpler, single-purpose items can
contribute to a more organized and visually appealing
environment.
- When blending historic architectural details with modern
amenities, consider using a historically appropriate color palette
paired with contemporary furniture to create a balanced and
cohesive look.
