If you're looking for an inexpensive way to add colorful modern art to your home, stretch classic Marimekko fabric over a canvas. This pattern is called "Kivet" and was designed by the Marimekko master, Maija Isola.

This contemporary space is gets a fun industrial touch with a unique coffee table featuring foot lockers on casters.

Tip: Stretch fabric over a canvas for an inexpensive way to pack a big graphic punch. This one is fashioned from a classic 'mekko print called KIVET (it's actually there to conceal the television). You can stretch the fabric over art canvases, buy kits (I recommend textile arts; their products are great and their customer service is superb), or buy hangings already put together.

This modern industrial coffee table comes with shelves and drawers for storage (the perfect place for all of your remote controls), and wheels to keep the table within easy reach.

8. Reduce noise. Your newly finished basement has the potential to affect the rest of your house with noise, particularly if you create a media or play room. Installing sound insulation into the basement ceiling can help. Higuera also suggests using RC channel, which is a long piece of metal shaped like a hat when viewed from the end. Without a sound break, sound travels through the wood right into the drywall. The RC channel is installed across the joists before the drywall. When it’s time for the drywall to be attached, it rests on the RC channel instead of the wood joists, reducing noise transmission. Another option? Surface-mount lights versus can lights. “Can lights tend to carry noise, so use surface-mount lights if your ceiling is high enough,” Higuera says.

Pro: Some models are carbon neutral. European woodstoves using the Nordic Ecolabel system are so efficient that the carbon emitted when they're used properly is equal to the carbon a tree naturally emits while decomposing in the forest. Some of these stoves (such as the one by Rais, shown here) are also available in America.Stove: Gabo, Rais
