๐ก Strategy tips
- Block the shell first (walls, roof, floors), then furnish room by room โ don't perfect one corner while others are bare.
- Use the room-templates and "buy by the room" tools to place furnished sets fast.
- Keep a personal "go-to" palette in mind so you're not paralysed by swatches.
