- Embrace the opportunity to declutter and reorganize your space
by focusing on multifunctional furniture and disciplined storage
habits.
- When selecting outdoor furniture, ensure it aligns with the
architectural style of your home and provides a striking contrast,
such as black wrought iron for a traditional look.
- In small or cozy spaces, prioritize larger, multifunctional
pieces over numerous medium-sized items to avoid a cluttered
appearance and maximize functionality.
