Plano where you can shop for décor:
1. Create a Cozy Living Room
Start with soft furnishings to add warmth and personality.

define the space. Add a few accent pillows and throws to create a comfortable
and inviting seating area. Consider a mix of lighting options to complement the
lighted ceiling fans already in your home.
