Once you have your measurements, it's time to create a mood board. Gather inspiration from magazines, Pinterest, and websites like Coohom to visualize your design ideas. This board will help you narrow down your color palette and style.Choosing a color scheme is your next step. Select 2-3 main colors and a few accent colors that complement each other.

Look for pieces that fit your style and scale with your room. Make sure each piece serves a purpose and fits within your budget.Now, think about the layout.

Plants and artwork can bring life and character to your space, so don’t forget to incorporate these personal touches! Finally, take a step back and assess your design. Make any necessary adjustments and don’t be afraid to change things if they don’t feel right.
