1 Give Electronics A Proper Place: Finally give into your husband and invest in a flat panel TV. The objective is to keep electronics off the ground (i.e. those horrendous wires) and incorporate them into the design

2 Keep It Open: This should be your new mantra, "declutter, declutter, declutter"

3 Use Geometry: Harken back to your high school days and always keep in mind the lines. Symmetry is the key here!
