" We asked interior designer Jay Jeffers to share his inspiration for the eclectic mix of vintage finds and modern accents in this living room. &amp;quot;My client wanted an updated &amp;#039;French chic&amp;#039; feel,&amp;quot; says Jeffers. &amp;quot;She has a wonderful art collection, so we chose furniture, such as the sculptured glass cocktail table, that&amp;#039;s interesting but doesn&amp;#039;t overpower the paintings.&amp;quot; Jeffers centered the sofa on the window wall, the focal point of the room. A tall floor lamp on the left side of the sofa balances the ornate mantel on the right. While Jeffers used furnishings from trade-only sources, you can capture the essence of this space with the lamps, ottomans, and sofas on the next page.       Find a style: There really are no rules, but do consider the architecture and use of the room. Mix styles as long as they share a common thread, such as scale or color. Travel purchases make great decorative accents.   Add patterns: I always use at least one pattern, for example, the cow print on the ottoman. A room done in all-solid fabrics is just too boring.   Stagger heights: Good design is about layering. Here, I used a table lamp and a floor lamp to vary heights in the room.          Stacked Ball 27&amp;quot; high x 16&amp;quot; diameter. $225.
