On my bed is a thick black comforter. Atop it, I have black and ivory pillows. Beside my bed is a circular table which I have covered with a dead rose red tablecloth, which is accentuated by a white lace cloth. The table serves as a showcase for an antique silver candleholder given to me by my grandmother. I keep a single white candle in it. I have some bigger
candles on this table as well, in various colors and scents.

Try to use multi-purpose objects in your room. I have many huge plastic
containers, including a large one that I have covered with a black sheet.
Voila! A table! This table houses my tarot cards, incense burners, a
black vase containing my opium incense sticks and several books. I used a
stack of plastic containers to create a vanity to hold my make-up and
mirror. Beware. Too many objects can result in unkempt clutter. But too
few can be boring.
