Create an Inspiration Board

Collect images, color swatches, and styles you like to guide decisions.

Prioritize Big Impact Items

Focus on key pieces like seating, lighting, or flooring that transform the space.

Research Affordable Sources

Look into thrift stores, online marketplaces, discount outlets, and DIY options.
