Tips for This Build
- Color coordination matters. Stick to pinks, whites, and warm creams. One off-color item breaks the whole aesthetic.
- Cable management is non-negotiable. Visible black cables destroy a pastel setup. Use white cable clips or route everything behind the desk.
- Natural light helps. Position near a window if possible. The fairy lights look best as accent lighting, not primary lighting.
- Keep it minimal. The temptation is to add more cat items. Resist. Three to four themed pieces is the sweet spot before it looks cluttered.
