Give your furniture some breathing room. 

Resist overcrowding a room. Gracious living means space to maneuver with ease.

This is really great news if you are working with a tight budget.

You don’t need to fill up a space with lots of furniture.

Spend more of your budget on fewer but better-quality pieces, and your room will look better than if it’s stuffed to the gills with flea market finds.

The high-backed chairs shown here, for example, stand out because they don’t have to fight for attention.
