20:36 Conclusion and next week's preview
- Brass accents are trending but can look dated if not carefully
selected, so opt for higher-end pieces to avoid an '80s
aesthetic.
- The concept of Wabi Sabi, which celebrates the beauty in
imperfection, is gaining popularity, but it's best to buy genuine
handcrafted items from artisans rather than mass-produced
imitations.
- Curved couches are becoming fashionable, but they often have a
smaller, less comfortable profile and may not be practical for
everyone.
