    Transform a room in an instant just by changing accessories. Judy George of Domain Home Fashions takes a room from casual to formal with a quick switch of pillows and tabletop accessories.

    A casual living room in neutral, monochromatic colors with natural-fiber pillows of burlap and cotton (figure A) takes on a formal look with luxurious pillows of patterned velvet and brocade (figure B).

    Casual tabletop accessories (figure C) are replaced with gold-edged boxes, a small gold urn and a silver-and-gold beaded picture frame (figure D).

    Change the look of a room with the seasons or as the mood strikes. Changes in the color, fabric and texture of pillows and other accessories can take a room from casual to formal -- and back again -- in a flash.
