Height and light
A tall faux olive tree
An olive tree in the living room fills an empty corner and makes the whole room feel finished. Six feet of realistic greenery, no watering, no sun needed.

An arched floor mirror
A tall arched mirror bounces light around and makes a small room feel twice as big. Lean it behind a chair or next to the olive tree.

A vintage mushroom lamp
Turn off the big light. A small lamp with a soft glass shade is the fastest way to a cozy evening.

A fluted wood console
Behind the couch or in the entryway: a slim fluted console with a lamp, a stack of books and a vase is the classic styling formula.

Pick the corner you see first when you walk in. Add something tall, something soft and a warm light. Once that corner feels finished, the rest of the room follows.
