4. Provide a spot for vases and flowers. This shapely side table provides and opportunity to add more accents to the room on its surface.

Leave it: This stunning room by Amy Lau is the perfect example of brick considered sinful to paint. Gray-toned brick is a favorite for designers since it often serves as a springboard for sophisticated palettes. Keep in mind that grey brick is pretty much always worth leaving untouched. To make ID'ing brick easier, check out this brick style guide.

The Papa Bear Chair (don't you just love that name?) makes a great lounge chair in a lofty living room...

In this example a vintage 1954 Bear Chair designed by Hans J. Wegner is paired with a sculptural tribal side table and Kilim rug.

Look for mid-century modern furniture with great lines made of solid wood (not plastic laminate). Don't worry about how ugly or dirty the cushions are. The first thing you will do is reupholster it and it will look like a million bucks in your high-class eclectic home

6. Generous proportions. Even if the man involved isn't over 6 feet tall, most men like a chair that feels roomy. The Papa Bear Chair by Hans Wegner is not thick and bulky, but it still has generous proportions. It is nice and wide at the top so there is room for his shoulders. If he is tall, pay attention to seat depth. Average seat depth is about 22", but a tall man may appreciate a chair that is a couple inches deeper.

1. Follow your heart, not trends. It's fun to keep track of what is current in the design world, but when it comes to your own home, remember you are the trendsetter! Just because emerald green is one forecaster's color of the year doesn't mean you should shun your favorite muted pastels. Let this be the year you stay true to you.
