Coffee Table Chic
Here are my go
to items for styling a coffee table: a stack of two to four coffee table
books, a decorative box (or a smaller pair of boxes, stacked), a
decorative object such as a shell or Moroccan star, and a tray. Any
three of the four look great (bigger tables can handle more stuff). Add a
small bouquet of flowers for extra credit. Voila instant chic! . by :

Bright Lamps
Give an old
lamp new life. Spray paint the base a bold, glossy color. Buy an
inexpensive shade, and trim it out with grosgrain ribbon. The lamp will
look 10 times more expensive than it is and be unique to your home. by :

Color Theory
Problem: Boring
mantel
Solution: Conquer a blank mantel with color. Choosing one common color
such as yellow gives unrelated objects a unifying theme. Shop your house
for items in the same color family. Pitchers, plates, books, and
pottery come together to make this interesting grouping.
Pretty Pillows
Pillows are an
instant way to decorate a room. Take a neutral palette and give it life
with colorful fabrics and textures. Use pillows to accentuate a color in
a room or to introduce a contemporary element to traditional decor.

Quick and Easy
Problem: Plain upholstery
Solution: Dress
up plain chairs by adding a colorful scarf or fabric runner. This is an
easy way to add color to a room. You can change it on a whim or with
the seasons.
Color Blocking
Paint the
inside of a cabinet a bright, bold color and fill the shelves with white
objects for a striking, graphic display. You can also round up nonwhite
items, such as vases and figurines, and give them a few coats of white
spray paint.
