- Neutral colors and symmetry are key to creating a cohesive and
spacious feel in a multi-functional room.
- Inspiration for bathroom color palettes should stem from
architectural finishes or adjacent room colors, not from easily
replaceable items like shower curtains or bath mats.
- Updating kitchen hardware and removing outdated wallpaper are
cost-effective ways to refresh a space without extensive
remodeling.
