- You can achieve a luxurious look without a high-end designer or a large budget by being your own interior designer. - Layering patterned sheets and textiles can add depth and visual interest to a space, making it more dynamic and personalized. - Placing a bed under a window can work well if you balance it with proper window treatments and decor, and it can often be the best layout solution for challenging room configurations.
