- Using built-ins for storage can be both practical and aesthetically pleasing, but they should be carefully considered based on how long you plan to stay in the home. - Styling a bookshelf can be an opportunity to combine function and decoration by using items like games, family photo albums, and aesthetically pleasing storage boxes. - Opting for an upholstered bed can add comfort and warmth to a bedroom while avoiding the overuse of wood, which can be common in bedroom furniture.
