Nothing looks more serious than a room in

which everything matches. Here, smooth

wood and rough woven surfaces break up

“It doesn't have to be anything expensive—

just something that says ‘I don't really

belong here but, wow, I look great

anyway ” Mickley says.

also make it easy to tote board games to

the patio or magazines to wherever you feel

like flopping down. flii
