STEP 1 OF 10

Paint One Fan Arch

A $12 quart of paint beats any furniture buy. String, pencil, two coats.

STEP 2 OF 10

Swap Hardware to Brass

Brushed brass pulls: under $40, one hour, guests think you renovated.

STEP 3 OF 10

Add One Chrome Moment

One chrome pendant or mirror per room. It reflects light — and clutter.

STEP 4 OF 10

The Fan-Arch Mirror

The one splurge. Size it to two-thirds the width of the console below.

STEP 5 OF 10

Velvet + Lacquer

Emerald velvet pillows, one black lacquered tray. Instant lounge.

STEP 6 OF 10

Bar-Cart Look, No Bar Cart

A brass tray vignette: decanter, two tumblers, one bowl. Skip the cart.

STEP 7 OF 10

Light It Like a Lounge

Globe sconces, 2700K bulbs, a $12 dimmer plug. Mood: 1920s.

STEP 8 OF 10

Black, Cream, One Jewel Tone

Paint the arch, not the wall. One jewel tone per room — never two.

STEP 9 OF 10

Take It to the Bathroom

Brass mirror + brass faucet + fan-pattern tile. Boutique hotel for $120.

The Edit

One statement per surface. If the room whispers Deco, you nailed it.
