Choose designs with soft, continuous movement—botanical lines, gentle geometrics, painterly textures—so the eye glides. Keep to warm neutrals; avoid stark white. Medium-scale motifs add character without crowding. Balance with quiet materials: linen curtains, matte lighting, natural wood. Start with a feature wall, then echo one tone elsewhere (throw, lamp, ceramic) to tie the room together. Crisp edges and good install = luxury.
