2. Strategize where the furniture will be placed in order to create visual balance and symbolism. Place pieces near windowsills or doors for natural light access, choose intentionally less-polished wood tables for a rustic feel, etc., and make sure everything works together as part of one cohesive whole without looking too busy or cluttered.

3. Consider color schemes - use complementary colors together (elements such as blue and green), omit colors altogether (white walls with dark furniture might work well), and play around with mixed textures (carpet on hardwood floors).
