Avoid spending too much on one thing.

Be judicious with your budget and buy things that are going to last.

Look at your world and your life, and look at what is personal to you. If you're living in an apartment, you need to stick with a narrative that's personal to you.

Avoid spending too much on one thing.

Think of how much furniture you need. What's the best way to have it be functional in a great way? If it's in groups, define it.

People get trapped in the way things should feel and less focused on the way things should function.

Make sure furniture decor has similar scale. It's all about scale, proportion, measuring, being conscious of the overall plan.
