- Gratitude for everyday home items, even those that aren't aesthetically pleasing, can enhance your appreciation for your living space. - When considering flooring options for a home with children and pets, laminate may offer the best balance of durability and cost-effectiveness. - Addressing design challenges, such as asymmetrical shelving, can be managed by creatively balancing other elements in the room rather than adhering strictly to principles like feng shui.
