Vintage furniture dominates the rooms. The thrill of the hunt is partly what draws Meisels to these pieces — as well as the endless customizations. "These items tend to be more whimsical and less expensive, with good-quality basics," she says. "I think this combination is what makes my home feel warm, inviting and a bit quirky while still maintaining its modernity."

Think about going vintage. For case goods especially, vintage pieces can be a better deal for high-quality construction than many new pieces on the market. If you love the midcentury modern look, seek out a vintage chest or sideboard. If you crave that posh decorator touch, give an antique dresser a coat of high-gloss paint for a glamorous look.Tell us: When you are buying furniture, what do you splurge on and what do you save on?

Some classic pieces — including a shag rug! — a minimalist approach, and a simple tricolor palette give this room a very calm, quiet feel.

8. Create vignettes that reflect your personality. There's nothing wrong with mimicking a look you love, but be sure your add personal touches that give clues about who you are, not just the store you shopped at.

7. Honor a special collection or hobby in a small way. There are two ways to deal with collections. Depending on how you feel, one option is to give the collection to someone who has a similar interest and can continue the hobby. The second is to display a portion of the collection while saving the remainder for another family member.
