This collection of elegant-looking table lamps will add light and class to the living room. The ceramic body adds a delicate and timeless look and works well to soften some of the lines created by the more angular furniture. These lights also tie back into the couch which also features a more "plump" feel.
9. Throw Pillows
Use a combination of these three pillow styles to add a soft splash of color and texture to your furniture. A combination of cool and warm neutrals with intresting patterns help add depth and dimension to the space. The colors all help tie the room together and create an overall sense of balance.
