25 Interior Design Tips for 2025 — PART 20 💥 Five more must-know interior designer secrets you need to start using ASAP: 1️⃣ Hang your curtains high. The easiest instant upgrade. Raise them 8–12 inches above the window frame and make sure your panels are 1.5–2× the width of your window so everything feels luxe, tall, and intentional. 2️⃣ Fake a large furniture moment. If you need a big piece but don’t want the big price tag? Combine smaller pieces. I’ve done this in my living room and dining room — it looks custom and saves so much money. 3️⃣ Decorate in odd numbers. 3, 5, 7. Trust me. Odd numbers are scientifically proven to be more visually pleasing and balanced. It’s one of the easiest designer tricks you can start using today. 4️⃣ Use lamps everywhere. Lamps are your best friend. Every. Single. Room. Even the kitchen. They bring warmth, dimension, and that designer “glow” your overhead lights could never give you. 5️⃣ Neutral furniture always wins. Choose neutrals for your big investment pieces so you can rotate color through textiles — pillows, rugs, curtains, lampshades. It keeps your space timeless while still letting you have fun with trends. LTKHome
