The Beni rug has been a decorator item ever since Billy Baldwin used it from the 1930s to the 1980s. One with a pedigree from Morocco can set you back thousands, but this good looking modern version is affordable and comes in every color.

The gold bookshelf is making a comeback. This is this hottest item on the design blogs now. This $40 shelf from Ikea looks as if it belongs in a dorm — but only until you spray paint it glam gold.
