🏠 3. Room Design Tips

🎨
Color Coordination

Stick to 2-3 main colors. Use accent colors sparingly for visual interest.

Symmetry & Balance

Balance large items with comparable visual weight on opposite sides.

💡
Lighting Layers

Use multiple light sources: overhead, table lamps, and floor lights for depth.

🖼️
Wall Decoration

Fill vertical space with paintings, shelves, and wall decorations.

📏
Negative Space

Don't overcrowd! Leave breathing room for a clean, organized look.

🌿
Add Plants

Place plants on tables, in corners, and on shelves for natural beauty.

✨ 4. Furniture Set Bonuses

Furniture belongs to themed sets. Completing sets provides gameplay buffs! Pieces must be placed (not just owned) to activate bonuses.

🛏️ Bedroom Energy recovery, stamina regeneration
🍳 Kitchen Cooking speed, reduced failure rate, quality boost
🌳 Outdoor Gardening efficiency, gathering bonuses
