Alternative Lighting
For a change up from table lamps, try hanging a pendant fixture from the ceiling over the bedside tables or end tables beside the sofa. There are many great choices and styles.
Elegant Tray
Want to add a little "bling" to your coffee table? Glue mirror glass to the inside of a painted wood tray, or use a ready made small decorative framed mirror as a tray.
Show a Little "Skin"
Leopard accessories are a designer favorite, they are used as a neutral and goes well with almost any style and pattern. Use a leopard throw or pillows on a sofa. Use a leopard shade on a lamp.
Use leopard wallpaper in the powder room.
"Designer Secrets"
Let There Be Light
Lamps are not only a good source for task lighting, they also add style and color. Invest in a good quality lamp. It should be 28"-32" in height and right proportion for the end table or nightstand it is placed on.
Easy Art Project
To add some inexpensive, but stylish art to a wall, select from the many choices of
scrap book paper in your local craft store and place the paper with a matt in a beautiful frame. This is good for making a grouping of art on a large wall.
"Bling" Is The Thing
Use silver in all types of accessories,
from vases, candlestick holders, trays,
boxes, etc. They add the "bling" to make the room more bright, cheerful and welcoming. Silver finishes will go good with other tones of black, brown or ebony.
Function and Style
Instead of an extra chair in the space,
adding a bench is great! Try using two smaller benches side by side. Use them in the main seating area of the living room or at the foot of the bed in the bedroom.
Got Old Books?
If you are short on table top accessories for that coffee table, hall chest, or bookshelves, try using a stack of books. Recover the books in a scrap of wrapping paper, or put fabric over the
cover using a spray adhesive. Spray paint the edges with gold paint.
