Buy This:
- Large-scale shelving units: Skip the flimsy small shelves and opt for substantial closed storage or floating shelves.
- Handmade decorative accessories: Look for unique vases, sculptures, and coffee table books with texture and character.
- Large, heavy mirrors: Choose mirrors with a width of at least 30 inches for a grand look. Opt for metal frames over cheap plastic ones.

- Rugs hanging on display: This usually indicates a brand-name rug at a discounted price. Look for rugs with patterns and textures, avoiding small, pre-rolled shag rugs.
- Swivel chairs with depth and weight: Opt for fully upholstered chairs for a more expensive look.
- Throw pillows with soft, plush finishes and integrated patterns: Avoid pillows with shiny or fake metallic finishes.
- Lamp bases with white lamp shades: This combination provides the most light and a clean look. Consider metal shades for focused lighting.
