Add Modern Lighting
Glass and metal are iconic materials in modern design. Create flair with a geometric light fixture and use abstract patterns for a touch of personality.
Give Your Room Natural Style
Refinish or install hardwood floors or add wood-paneled walls with a neutral stain to allow the grain of the wood to shine.

Create Architectural Details
Wainscoting, trim and crown molding add dimension to the walls in a formal living room or den.
Bring in a Branch

Update the Ceiling
A coffered ceiling adds elegance and architectural detail to a family room. It’s a great way to incorporate ambient lighting in the form of recessed can lights. Photo courtesy of Cedia
Lay Tile
Instead of wood floors, consider terra-cotta tile flooring. It brings warm color and a Mediterranean style note to your room
Choose a Soothing Color Palette
