To revamp your own living room, start with a fabric you love. Select a favorite hue from it to paint on the walls. Pull out an additional color to use as an accent. When dealing with a bold pattern such as this one, it's best to use it throughout the room to get the print's full effect. Give your mantel special attention. An oversize iron screen makes this petite firebox appear much grander. The new TV stand fits in seamlessly with the room's architectural features. Above the fireplace, the homeowners created frames by nailing together 2-inch-wide wood trim pieces. Next, layers of batting were wrapped around the frames. Finally, the decorative fabric was stretched across the front of the frames and secured to the backs with a staple gun. The panels attach to the wall with self-fastening strips (available at sewing and craft-supply stores) that are placed on the backs of the panels and inside the recessed areas on the wall. The panels can easily be removed as the homeowners' tastes change or if the fabric needs cleaning. Here, the designer highlighted artwork with swing-arm lamps. You could also use wall sconces. To add interest, replace standard lampshades with colorful ones. http://img.timeinc.net/aolhome/i/design/sl/04/07/SL0407099l_1b_y.jpg Travertine marble remnants were cut to fit this fireplace--a wallet-friendly idea. Brookfield Idea House: Family Room This family room's impressive furnishings include two cherry armoires flanking the fireplace, a pair of buttery yellow chairs, and a soft blue sofa that echoes the hue on the walls. Off-white silk drapery panels soften the large windows without hiding the stunning golf course view. Two-story ceilings reinforce the room's sense of openness.

Here's proof that a luxe-looking console table doesn't have to cost a fortune. With inexpensive rattan pedestals and a rectangular piece of glass, interior designers Anne-Michelle Langlois and Elizabeth Hutcheson created a spot for displaying accessories. The idea can be adapted to complement any decor. Gathering Space Muted, earthy browns, greens, oranges, and yellows set a peaceful, comfortable mood. Copper vases shine atop a weathered antique table, which sits on a green-and-brown rug woven of jute and other plant fibers. The etageres flanking the couch help define the space. Large-scale botanical prints and solid fabrics on the sofa, chairs, and pillows inject the room with pattern and color.

Elegant Style In the main living space, pale blue walls soothe the senses and act as a skylike backdrop for off-white furnishings. Smooth Landing A cozy reading nook in the window-wrapped space features twin club chairs in a beachy plaid, a floor lamp with a striped silk shade, and a soft Berber wool rug.

Savvy Style To set off the light-colored furnishings, the designer painted the walls mocha. The dark hue brings sophistication to the cottage appeal.
