1- Floor Lamp: Whether with a shade or a "torchiere" (indirect light upward) a floor lamp is essential to create mood lighting and accentuate a corner of your room. Don't rely on just a central overhead light fixture. 2- Table Lamp: A beautiful table lamp is like a small sculpture that adds an artistic accent as well as reading light. Every table needs a lamp to create interest and warm a large living room space. 3- Books: Collections of books are not only for reading but can be arranged on shelves to add baance and texture to a wall arrangement. 4- Artwork: Large art pieces are essential to making a room look furnished. Too many small collections are out of balance without a nice painting to add to a room's overall design. A large painting can create a focal point in a plain room. 5- Area Rug: Whether you have wall-to-wall carpeting, tile or wood flooring, every furniture arrangement needs an area rug to pull it all together. Sofas and chairs need to be arranged around an area rug usually in the center of your living room. Don't line the furniture against the wall around the perimeter of the room. 6- Magazine Rack: What would we do without our magazines and catalogs! Choose a rack that doubles as an end table or choose just a beautiful basket or box, but always create space for your decorating magazines. 7- Food Serving Tray: Serving snacks can be easy and elegant with a free-standing tray table or a beautiful artistic accent tray. 8- Throw Blanket: Nothing could be more elegant and comforting than a luxurious throw draped over your sofa or chair. This accessory adds instant style. 9- Flowers: A punch of bright red or yellow can make a room come alive. Treat yourself and your guests to a flower arrangement in a gorgeous vase. 10- Candles: Scented candles for melting pots, or candles to light up give a room so much ambiance and romance. Especially important if you do not have a fireplace. Make a point to add all 10 of these essential accessories to your living room. Pottery Barn always has beautiful and creative accessories to choose from. There are also many boutique shops where you will find just the right accessory that you must have for your home. If you collect too many for one room, then save some for a different season and switch them out. You'll be pleased at the difference accessories make.
