- January is the second-best time for home space sales, making it ideal for purchasing discounted items and avoiding holiday season price hikes.
- Using a long rod with stability brackets and more fabric can help create a proportional, unobstructed view for large windows while keeping the design cohesive and functional.
- Incorporating color through rugs and pillows, especially with complementary tones like a muted green and deep red, can enhance the warmth and inviting nature of a country cottage-style living room.
