BRASS FUNKY 
Shine up a tablescape or top off a stack of coffee table books with artistic statement sculptures. Atchison Home • Brass Tabletop “Objet” • $30 for the set

                     

MODERN WATERFALL
A cascading chandelier (Larabee Vertical Pendant from Visual Comfort) is perfect for an updated entryway. As an alternative, hang it low in the corner of the living room for an unexpected pop of interest. Atchison Home • Modern Brass Chandelier • $1, 260

SIDESHOW
This side table adds sleek glamour to any space. A gold metal base and marble top can pair with anything. Lush: Home, Garden, Event • Diamond-base Side Table • $550

A CLEAR WINNER
Lucite is sensationally surprising in a traditional space. This comfy stool (The Elk Group) is easy to incorporate into any home, but reupholster it in chartreuse velvet and you’ll have some serious punch! M.A. Simons • Lucite and Natural Linen Footstool • $375

   

COLOR AND FORM
Bold and modern companion paintings by artist Emily Ryan Smith will command a room. Living Well • Abstract Oil on Canvas • $1, 700 each (or $3, 000 for pair)

     

FEATHER YOUR NEST
This soft, textural work of art, known as an African Juju hat, or Bamiléké headdress, is a symbol of prosperity believed to combine the positive qualities of birds and the fragility of life. It is a costume piece worn by royal dancers during important tribal ceremonies, but it also looks fabulous mounted over a mantle or sofa. Living Well, Fairhope • Juju Hat • $300 

AGAINST THE GRAIN
Burl wood lacquer chest (Worlds Away) with slim, modern legs and gold accents is a showstopper. Malouf Furniture Co • Hudson Gold Chest • $2, 549

   

ANIMAL INSTINCTS
Faux leathers and skins made by Novel give high-traffic spaces a sense of chic. The fabrics feature exquisite detail but are completely wipeable. Try this print (Valkenburg Print in Porcelain) on an upholstered coffee table in the living room or a tufted bench with slim brass legs in an entryway. Lulu and Me Home • Faux Snakeskin fabric • $94 per yard

BIG GAME HUNTING
Luxurious wallcovering (Scalamandre) with a dashing zebra print lends a bit of glam safari to your home. Lulu & Me Home • Zebra Wallpaper in “Safari Brown” $238 for a 5-yard roll
