🛏️ Where’s the perfect place to position your bed? Designers share their top tips — and it can make a BIG difference in sleep, comfort, and style.
Here’s what they recommend:
• Place your bed centered on a long wall to create balance and a natural focal point.
• Try to avoid blocking windows to keep the space bright and breezy.
• If there’s a fireplace, beautiful view, or standout feature — face the bed toward it for maximum impact.
• Keep comfortable spacing around the bed and aim for symmetry with your nightstands and lighting.
• For kids’ rooms, pushing the bed into a corner can save valuable floor space.

🛠️ Thinking about updating your floors? Here’s what’s trending now—and what’s fading fast. 🏡
Trending Out:
• Gray flooring: Homeowners are moving toward warmer tones, and gray shows dirt more easily.
• Luxury vinyl plank: Still popular, but many prefer more durable, scratch‑resistant options.
• High‑gloss finishes: Beautiful but impractical—hard to maintain and can be slippery.
Trending In:
• Patterned carpet: From honeycomb textures to layered rugs, carpets are adding personality again.
• Decorative entryway floors: Bold tile patterns and hand‑painted floors are making big first impressions.
• Timeless wood flooring: A classic that fits every style—and offers strong ROI.
