Some things, simply put, are never finished. In the hopes of helping you decorate savvily for all the rest of your live long days, we went ahead and rounded up the greatest design tips and tricks in our arsenal.

1. Mount curtains high above your windows
The closer to the ceiling, the grander the room will feel.
2. Hang art pieces right at eye level
Aka 57 inches off the ground.
3. Station pretty baskets around the house
Three cheers for strategically placed clutter catchalls.
4. Style decorative objects in odd numbered groupings.
Use the “rule of three,” people.
5. Layer your light sources
Task, ambient and accent: Layers = warmth.
6. Always, always make your bed
Nothing says “I don’t care about my home” quite like a duvet cover crumpled on the floor.
7. Use rugs to separate zones
Voilà: Insta-dining room in your open-concept kitchen.
8. Think of produce as decor
Fruits and veggies in a bowl make a gorgeous centerpiece in a pinch.
9. Make big statements in tiny rooms
Powder/laundry rooms + brazen wallpapers are always a good idea.
10. Fresh flowers, always
And fresh water too (no murky green business, thanks).
