15-Minute Makeovers

Warm and Elegant

A two-tiered glass-and-iron coffee table is a great choice for an elegant look. Warm up its sleek surface with a punch of color. Accessories in red do the trick here.

Low: The coffee-table book is a classic choice. Pick one with a cover in tones of orange and red.

Middle: Granny Smith apples are the go-to accessories of photo stylists because they lend a striking pop of color. Put them in a red bowl.

High: A tall, spiky plant is dramatic, especially in a planter with a floral pattern. Such an addition brings life to the table's arrangement.
