Statement lighting : Don\u2019t be afraid to go bold by adding a dramatic light fixture; it\u2019s an effective way to give the room dimension and draw the eye upward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Soft-pleat drapery : \u201cBig hits of color can change the mood of a room,\u201d says Kai. \u201cDrapery energizes and is a great way to add color to a wall without the time commitment and mayhem of painting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Accent lighting : Consider a secondary light source to create ambience while outfitting the space with a sculptural piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Wall art : \u201cA small grouping of art can sometimes fall flat,\u201d says design editor Jennifer Koper. \u201cInstead, try hanging one large piece for greater impact. A mirror will bounce light to create the illusion of a larger space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Tropical plant : Replace seasonal branches with a lush elephant\u2019s ear plant to breathe life into a vacant corner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. Vibrant pillows : Throw pillows can make a sofa sing. Why not change up the the tune with new covers in eye-catching colors or patterns?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. Bold sculpture : Minimize clutter and style your coffee table with a few large-scale sculptural objets for maximum impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8. Fashion rug : Anchor your room with a rug \u2014 a dreamy wash of rainbow colors underfoot helps pull together all the accents in the room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. Coffee table : Consider a substantial coffee table crafted in natural materials to bring character and warmth to the space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">10.
