If you know what to look for in the Wayfair WayDay sale, it can be easy to find pieces that elevate your living room. If you don't, you can end up staring at faux leather massage chairs that look even clunkier than Joey and Chandler's.

So here are the pieces that I think will instantly overhaul your living room - all on sale now, but only for the rest of today. Quick!

Browse the full Wayfair WayDay sale here.

Neutral rugs

Let's start at the floor. You'll need something soft to walk on that means you can go barefoot (which always makes you feel safe). But nothing too show stopping that steals focus. These are the answer.

cream rugCalm and curated

Morin shag area rug

With just a hint of a pattern but nothing that would overpower even the most minimalist living room, this modern organic rug links showier pieces of furniture well. It goes with everything - I can see it with a stone-top coffee table and an air of serenity.

jute rugGoes with everything

Santibanez jute rug

Wisdom I refer back to always: designer Beata Heuman told me jute rugs go with everything, and helps to link colors or shapes that perhaps don't technically match. She's right - I have one in my living room that changed the whole vibe for the better.

Stone-top coffee tables

Now add a bit of gleam, and the trend for marble continues. It's still so luxe, so timeless. Elegant and elevated.

marble coffee tableAllows a feeling of space

Abhaki coffee table

Its skinny legs allow air to flow through and around this glossy marble coffee table. Monochrome continues to be a big living room trend - sharp, sleek and smart.

round coffee tableAdds storage

Draughn coffee table

I am always looking for another shelf to keep my stuff on - decluttering can only go so far. The fact this coffee table has an extra layer for books, magazines - or boxes - really helps.

Blue couches

Dark blue is back in style - it's super sophisticated and makes a living room look more expensive. These two couches nail it.

blue couchPerfect for TV watching

Geo 2 Piece upholstered sectional

It's the bolster cushions that do it for me, rounding off the sharp corners of this couch that is just made for lounging across. I spy the perfect living room TV sofa.

round blue couchIdeal for entertaining

Wide Velvet Symmetrical Modular Curved-Shape Sectional

The trend for curved sofas is going nowhere, and this sprawling sectional is the ideal couch for entertaining. I'm imagining my favorite people, drink in hand, gathered in. Pair with a round rug and some sparkling conversation.

Table lamps

The era of the big light is officially over - it's so much more convivial to create pools of lighting instead. Dot at different heights, on a fireplace or end table.

table lampElegantly shaped

Haviland table lamp

The smooth texture of concrete is the perfect complement and contrast to the marble coffee table. Man made instead of natural but just as refined. Again, I enjoy how much airiness this slimline structure allows.

table lampWarm to read by

Gareth table lamp

This has the softest, warmest glow. A slight golden touch to the subtle light it creates, this is wonderful to read by. I'm considering buying three and dotting them around my living room.

Objets

This is where it starts to get fun. The bigger pieces bought so the personality can be layered in on top. And these pieces are full of personality.

vaseQuirkily beautiful

Denille vase

This isn't for everyone - I'd never get it passed my husband - but if you have confidence and flair then it's unusual enough to work. I find it beautiful - quite dreamy - and that it works filled with flowers or left empty.

vaseSoft silhouette

Toni vase

With any shelfscape I believe it's the space around each objet that is most interesting. And this has a perfect silhouette - place it next to something a little more angular for a very cleverly curated display.
