My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    White, black, or brown furniture for a more neutral decoration.

    White is beautiful, but more upkeep if you have children, pets, or messy roommates. I recommend a dark brown or black with throw pillows that match the rug and artwork around the room. Use two or three different colors. When you tire of the decor, it's much easier (and cheaper), to replace the decor than the furniture. Invest in comfortable furniture with great lines or classic furniture with great character depending on your taste.
