Window treatments can either make or break your living space. Always choose accents that reflect your room’s style and structure. If you are decorating a small room with low ceilings, choose long drapes that extend to the floor; it elongates your walls by creating an illusion of taller ceilings.
6. A Cozy Rug

Not only will you find amazing comfort in having a cozy rug, but you will also find a new way to add instant drama to your typically boring floors. A rug adds needed texture to create a balance within your living space. They are also great for separating large rooms in half. Always remember, rugs are a great way to indulge in patterns and color.

Side tables are a must-have, not only for functionality but for glam, too! Side tables are typically smaller in size, so it’s the perfect opportunity to add a trendy touch without overdoing it in your living space. When deciding on accent tables, always go opposite of whatever item the table will be sitting next to. If you’re placing your tables beside your sofa, choose a brighter color or a lighter metal finish.
