- In a kitchen with natural maple cabinetry, adding a backsplash up to the ceiling is not recommended if the cabinets do not reach the ceiling, as it will create an awkward visual gap. - Using gray grout instead of black with white subway tiles in a kitchen helps avoid overly harsh contrasts and potential staining issues. - When treating windows in a living room for a cohesive look, it's essential to match drapes to the sliding door's drapes, ensuring they are the appropriate length without excessive puddling on the floor.
