If you're fortunate enough to have a large room or even if you just want your average size room to feel more dramatic, super-sizing your furniture or accessories is a wonderful way to add grandeur and crank up the cozy factor in your space. Many oversized furniture pieces are very comfortable and functional, while larger accessories can fill an empty corner or wall. The lesson here? Think big!

| A pair of large lighting pendants gives this eating area a very dramatic feel. The fixtures are completely in scale with the huge mirror and wingback chairs. The designer's choice of black accentuates the drama while also adding a feeling of elegance. |
| If you're like me, then your kitchen table does double (and even triple) duty! Aside from daily meals, a large dining table can easily handle homework, crafting, work duties and also extra dinner guests. |

| Got space? If you have a large living room or basement, a super-sized sectional will provide tons of comfy seating. This piece has three sections, which provides much flexibility if you need to rearrange seating for special occasions. See why a curved sofa makes sense. |

A sizable mirror reflects light and creates an open, airy feel. When selecting a mirror think outside of the box. You'll add more interest to your space by foregoing a traditional mirror and choosing a more decorative one, such as this hexagon style.
