If you have a desk or
workspace in the room, go for the

time look, right now?
You can’t go wrong if
you mix a slipcovered
sofa, a dark wood
coffee table, and a

scratch on them.

expensive pillow
squish from any bargain
pillow cover when you
swap the foam for a
down insert. (You can
find them for as little as
$6 for a i2-inch square.)

Use cork
trivets as
oversize coasters that
hold a drink and a
snack. “File” them
in a letter sorter or
toast rack. (
