This metallic pouf, measuring 14 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches, adds personality to any part of the home, according to Michelle Harrison-McAllister, interior designer and founder of Michelle Harrison Design.

She said you can use it as a footstool in a living room, extra seating for your kids to play video games, or as a place to hold towels in the bathroom.

The round pouf is available in silver, gold, and bronze color varieties.

Good lighting can make a world of difference in any room, said Elaine Burns, principal interior decorator at Pistachio Designs.

"I like to use table and floor lamps versus overhead fixtures, especially in living rooms," Burns told Insider.

With its sleek and industrial silhouette, this buffet-stick lamp in brushed brass can add a sophisticated yet simple detail to your space, according to Harrison-McAllister.

Another great pick is this metal floor lamp from the Threshold collection, Burns said, because it's got a classic silhouette.

"Throws and accent pillows are my favorite way to refresh a room for the changing seasons," Burns told Insider. "I prefer to use pieces in neutral colors to transition seamlessly."

Burns said a great technique to use when layering is to combine different textures to make the room feel more inviting. For instance, try combining this boucle lumbar pillow with a classic striped pillow and a soft plaid pillow, she suggested.
