Inexpensive ways to make a room stand out

I love when people come up with creative ways to improve a rather basic item. A great example of this is Scrabble pillows, now that is clever inexpensive way to improve a room. I am actually surprised that you don't see these pillows more often.

Giving your rooms a unique theme is a great way to spice them up without paying a fortune. The person who posted this picture went a little further then most with the benches that are shaped like the letter holders. I believe that just doing something small like just having the creative pillows will make everyone who walks in the room smile and that is more of an emotion then most living rooms elicit, so well done.
