Use under-bed storage. Keep furniture min
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can embrace full Art Deco drama with lacquered furniture, bold geometric wallpaper, substantial lighting fixtures, and rich color throughout. Create glamorous conversation areas with Deco seating groups. In a larger kids room: Large kids rooms can create dedicated zones: sleep area, play zone, study corner, reading nook. Consider built-ins for storage. Larger rooms work well for shared sibling spaces.
