Lounge Sofa
No brainer, right? After all, the sofa is the soul of every living room. The last thing you want after a long and tiring day is to come back to your new home and travel all the way to the bedroom to chill and relax.

Coffee Table
Coffee tables are often-ignored pieces of furniture that are not only highly functional but also very stylish to look at. And just in case you are moving to a much bigger space, you are especially going to miss them while sitting on a sofa corner desperately looking for a spot to put down your glass of wine.

You can go for an oriental look as in this multi-color hand-woven carpet from The Home Talk and channel some of the Arabian Nights ambiance right in your home.
Exquisite Lighting
Good lighting is capable of elevating any ordinary living space and transforming it into a dazzling masterpiece that ups the style quotient of the entire house.
