Layers: Use multiple layers to separate structural elements like floor plans, textures, and furnishings. This allows for easy adjustments and clear organization.

To produce a board that stands out, use specialized brushes available through Studio Brushes. For instance, the PRO Setting Room Brushset offers a wide range of textures.

Brush Settings: Adjust size, opacity, and flow to suit your design needs.
Pressure Sensitivity: Take advantage of the pressure sensitivity in Procreate for nuanced texture application and stroke variation.
