Combine looks for a one-of-a-kind living room

Kerra Michele Huerta is the designer for Kerra Michele Interiors, the blogger behind Apartment Envy and the owner of Bureau, a design and event studio in Washington, D.C. She specializes in blending various styles into a streamlined, stylish look.

We asked her to select mix-and-match items to help give your living area a facelift. Huerta chose "luxe textures, materials and interesting shapes" that would "elevate a mostly neutral space to something truly special," she wrote in an email.

"The really fun part is that you can easily swap any of these individual items from one list to the other, and truly build a full room that fits your budget."
