Guest Picks: Make an Understatement

If you’ve ever seen my home, you would know I like to decorate with one-of-a-kind pieces, bright colors and bold art. But amongst all those statement pieces, I’ve found that I do need a few understated items to pull everything together. And just because these pieces won’t stand out, it doesn’t mean they can’t still have style. — Jamie from A Pair of Pears

Modern Pendant Lighting by Warehouse of Tiffany, Inc
Adjustable Ceiling Lamp - $58.13This light doesn't have all the glitz and glamour of some other fixtures I've seen, but that's exactly why I love it. The double shade adds enough interest without stealing all the attention in the room.

Modern Mugs by LBC Modern
Creature Camouflage Teacup, Squirrel - $29This cup deserves a second glance. When I first looked at it, I thought it was just a nice, simple teacup. Then I noticed the cute and clever squirrel tail.

Modern Desk Accessories by Hatch Hub
Mr. Block Head - $24And you thought all pencil holders were boring. Not only does this one do double duty, but if you look closely, you will see a little face. Hello, Mr. Block Head!

Midcentury Buffets And Sideboards by Eastvold Furniture
Classic Credenza, Small, Walnut - $1,940I love the clean, straight lines of this credenza. This beautiful piece will be able to stick around as styles change and fads come and go.

Traditional Sofas by Kathy Kuo Home
Beaumont Classic English Rolled-Arm Pewter Gray Condo Sofa - $3,663This simple couch is here to stay. And the legs add just the right amount of character to make it stand out.

Traditional Heating And Cooling by The Renovator's Supply, Inc.
Bright Cast Brass Heat Register Grille - $69Before seeing this, I would have never thought of swapping out a standard, boring heat register grille with something this fabulous. This is really unexpected.

Traditional Originals And Limited Editions by Tirage Fine Art Gallery
‘Foggy Path’ Framed Oil Painting - $900The simple scene and color palette of this painting give it just enough pizzazz to add some life to a room without being over-the-top.

Traditional Prints And Posters by Amanti Art
‘Redwoods, Founders Grove, 1966’ Framed Print by Ansel Adams - $89.95You can’t go wrong with a classic black and white photograph. It is timeless and will be right at home on almost any wall of the house.

Rustic Rugs by Jaipur Rugs Inc.
Flat-Weave Durable Wool Gray/Ivory Area Rug - $398A neutral rug is always a good choice, and this one refuses to blend into its surroundings with the bold geometric pattern.

Mediterranean Rugs by Rhadi Living
Classic Duo Tone Rug, Aubergine, 4'x6' - $44I love the more traditional pattern on this rug done in an unexpected bright green.

Midcentury Chairs by Great Deal Furniture
Mariana Fabric Club Chair, Beige - $284.99This is the perfect chair to fit any style of room. It’s clean, simple and neutral, and it will stick with you as your tastes change.

Transitional Chairs by Cymax
Armen Living Barrister Velvet Chair, Gray - $660This more traditional-style chair might seem a bit stuffy to some people, but don’t be fooled! That black piping is all for fun. You’ll be keeping this one around for a good long while.

Eclectic Bed Pillows And Pillowcases by Urban Bird and Co.
‘Sleep Tight, Don’t Let the Bedbugs Bite’ Pillowcases - $28These are not your typical plain or floral-patterned pillowcases. They've got just enough personality to add some fun to a room.

Contemporary Quilts by Design Public
Soft-Map Great Lakes Quilt - $220This is the best state-pride blanket I’ve seen. It doesn’t scream “Go Blue” and easily fits in with other decor, all while still letting everyone know that you’re proud to be a Michigander.

Transitional Beds by Baxton Studio
Baxton Studio Marsha Scalloped Gray Linen Modern Bed, Queen Size - $609The headboard on this bed has a lovely shape that adds some interest, and the color keeps it neutral enough that it will stay with you through the years.

Transitional Beds by Baxton Studio
Baxton Studio Quincy Dark Beige Linen Platform Bed, Queen Size - $388The simple shape and color of this bed make it easy to change up your room from time to time with just some pillows and blankets.

Contemporary Ceiling Fans by Hansen Wholesale
Minka Aire Wave Ceiling Fan, Distressed Koa - $209.95I didn't even know such unique ceiling fans existed! I love how this one would start a conversation wherever it's placed, but it won't become the center of attention.

Modern Dining Tables by Sedia Inc
Unity Dining Table - $2,850This table would be perfect for small spaces that need a little style without being over-the-top.

Rustic Side Tables And Accent Tables by Arcadian Home & Lighting
iMax Zatana Teak Wood Side Table X-67315 - $168You can’t get a simpler, more versatile side table, and that’s what makes this one perfect.
