Its artisan quality and crafted work provide a striking centrepiece for your living room. It has a moody smoked glass on the top and a shelf at the base that offers additional storage.

Area Rug

When selecting an area rug, make sure that it extends under all the key pieces of furniture in the room. In a living room, for instance, all of the furniture should be on top of the rug. If this isn’t possible, it’s okay to have the front legs of major upholstered pieces on the rug and the back legs off. However, all the legs of smaller pieces should be on the rug.
