Living Room 201

Sure, you've got the basics—the sofa, the coffee table, the entertainment hutch—but your living room feels like it needs a little something...special. Here are a few of our favorite stores for glamming up your home.

Occasional Chairs: HW Home
From upholstered wingbacks to leather clubs to salons, HW Home has an accent chair for any style. All of HW's pieces are made with fine craftsmanship, which, of course, you'll pay for. But they'll last you a lifetime. Multiple locations, www.hwhome.com

Lamps: Conrad Lee Gallery
This Broadway newcomer has absolutely gorgeous home accessories (both refurbished antiques and new), but its selection of one-of-a-kind lamps—handcrafted by storeowners Jim Johnson and Paul Franke—and the sconces are what really wow us. 238 N. Broadway, 303-722-1005, www.conradlee.com

Wall Art: Piñon Fine Art
We've learned to count on this elegant Littleton gallery for some of the best landscape oils by Western artists. You're bound to find the perfect canvas for that empty spot above the fireplace. 2510 W. Main St., Littleton, 303-733-3133, www.pinonfineart.com

Rugs: Swank Space
This Highland mainstay moved to Cherry Creek North where it fills the urban-casual niche nicely. We like the well-edited selection of contemporary rugs—great for a playful splash of color. The prices are good, too. 270 Columbine St., 720-855-0725, www.swankspace.com

Frames: 5 Green Boxes (The Big Store)
This furniture store (an offshoot of the Platt Park boutique by the same name) is one of our favorite places to find that artistic, conversation-worthy accent piece. The frames, especially, are super-unique. 1705 S. Pearl St., 303-282-5481, www.5greenboxes.com

Throw: Pillows One Home
If you're looking for traditional florals, this is probably not the place for you. But for a more architectural/contemporary splash of color, go to One Home. Ask for designs by Boulder company é bella. 2445 E. Third Ave., 720-946-1505, www.onehomedesign.com

Green Buys

Our favorite eco-conscious finds from five homegrown companies.

Pangea Organics: Facial Scrub in Egyptian Geranium with Adzuki Bean & Cranberry
This Boulder-made exfoliator (see story on page 30) is made from all-natural ingredients—including the packaging. Just remove the label, soak the box in water, bury it in soil, and voilÀ—an herb garden. $32, Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage, www.pangeaorganics.com

OlovesM: Bernie small bag
Look for this hip handbag from a line of eco-totes and clutches that Aspen-based mom, entrepreneur, and yoga enthusiast Merle O'Brien created using discarded landfill-bound plastic scraps from yoga-mat manufacturers. $45, Baudines in Tamarac Square, www.olovesm.com

Apparel of the Earth: Truffle Tank We heart this beautiful summer basic from the Arvada-based online eco-retailer; we also dig that it's made from sustainable hemp fibers. $46, online at www.appareloftheearth.com

Totem Industries: Brush Pullover You can't go wrong with a soft, fleecy midlayer with thumbholes for brisk fall days—especially when 92 percent of it is made from recycled soda bottles. $80, online at www.totemindustries.com

Pixie Mate: Original Mate Latte Mix
This yummy drink concentrate is made from Yerba Mate—a South American tea that packs a crash-free caffeine buzz. Best part: The Boulder-based company supports sustainable agriculture with its growers. $4.59, Whole Foods, www.pixiemate.com
