Adding books can make any space feel more personal, and can make tenants see themselves in the space easier. You can ever add a bit of drama to your space by adding some curtains for more whimsical Instagram worthy spaces.
Layers
Using layers to make your space more appealing for the eyes and give some much needed pop. Mixing hard floors with soft rugs, flat walls with textured focal points such as intricate light features and lamps, consider light walls and with dark and bold accents.
