Keep key dimensions on your phone so you have them with you when shopping
Use a Limited color palette
Make sure that the room has points of height in the room
Cluster your collection together in one place
Layer patterns
Use outdoor fabrics in the kitchen and dining room
Have tables near chairs in the living room so people can set a drinking glass there
Find gorgeous antique chairs and redo the upholstry
