The Do’s

  • Do buy your most expensive furnishing first and then match the rest of the room accordingly.
  • Do have a quality living room furnishings. You want your guests to feel comfortable and right at home.
  • Do use multiple light sources with diverse intensities.
  • Do use dimmer switches.
