Build a home that people remember by how they felt inside it.

What lasts about a place is how people felt while they were in it. Nobody recalls the furniture. They recall being fed, being listened to, being able to relax, or the opposite. That is entirely within your control and has almost nothing to do with the resources available to you.

Think about what you want people to feel when they leave your home. Then work backwards to what you would have to do. It is usually attention rather than expense.
