- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a luxe look in your home. - When designing an open space, use rugs and color palettes to create distinct zones and maintain cohesion. - In a basement, keeping built-ins and wainscoting a lighter color can make the space feel more inviting and less cave-like.
