Use tapestries - anywhere you want.

Hang the tapestry to create a canopy-like effect. You can also sew a rod pocket to hang it on the walls. Another alternative to this is a flat carpet.
Upcycle an old bench
Give the old bench or any unused furniture a paint job. Go for bold colours if you have an all-white home, and black or dark brown if you want a moodier effect.
Use vintage doorknobs

Vintage doorknobs come in many forms, including odd shapes and unique patinas. As seen above, you can also use it to tuck curtains.
