Shape the room

Lay everything on the floor, photograph the arrangement, and use paper templates on the wall. Keep one repeating note—black edge, warm wood, or a shared color—to connect the mix.

The eye reads the whole composition first, so a little irregularity can feel more alive than perfect rows.
