- Being clear about your design vision and avoiding overly broad terms like "eclectic" is crucial for achieving a cohesive look. - Natural woven shades or softer fabric Roman blinds are recommended over dated and impractical valances or tie-up curtains. - When selecting fabrics and textiles, ensure they complement your overall style and color palette to prevent costly mistakes and design regrets.
