- You don't need a high-end designer or a lot of money to get a luxe look by being your own interior designer. - Reusing and repurposing decorations from previous seasons can save money and still create a compelling and cozy look. - When choosing drapery, consider the room's existing color palette and patterns, and opt for a thicker rod and avoid clip rings for a more sophisticated look.
