What is often overlooked when making a space feel warm and homey is lighting. Lighting is critical and can offer a warm glow, or a brighter focus-inducing feel based on the type of lamp, bulb, and positioning of the lamp. Table lamps offer great task lighting, while floor lamps like this one by Versanora offer great ambient lighting for a general warm glow. While finding the right bulb (in terms of wattage and overall color) might take a few tries, a warm free standing lamp looks great next to a couch, bookshelf or accent chair. So try adding some warm glow to your hang out spots and amp up the moodiness of your abode.

Accent chairs are truly a sign that you have elevated your home style game. It's the equivalent of transitioning from posters to art. Or at least going from thumb tacking your posters to framing them. A mid-century modern, minimalistic chair like this one from !nspire is a great for smaller spaces, and living room because it is comfortable but doesn't take up much room. The warm wood balances the cool gray, and the back position promotes conversation rather than a "curl up and sleep" type posture. So invite over some buddies, pour some bourbon or scotch and partake in some enlightening conversation in this sophisticated accent chair.

This coffee table is no joke. Its natural wood and cast iron build gives this industrial-style coffee table a cool modern look but also gives it some weight. Weighing in at almost 90 pounds, its a good thing this table is on wheels. The dulled-gear style of the wheels and the rivet-based joints in combination with the aged wooden top make it authentic and it works well with both leather and cloth furniture.
