Homes, like artificial Christmas trees, should be judged on their inner beauty rather than their rough, synthetic exterior. Give a humble abode a reason to have an ego with today's Groupon: for $50, you get a two-hour interior-design consultation (a $350 value) or $350 worth of home-décor merchandise from Inside Style.

Buyers can also choose to split the Groupon by opting for a one-hour interior-design consultation and $175 value toward merchandise.

Founded by experienced designer Jill Abelman and recently featured in Luxury Las Vegas magazine, Inside Style specializes in turning custom homes and vacation retreats into wood-and-upholstered reflections of their human owners through interior-design services and custom-designed or personally ordered furniture. During a two-hour, phase-one consultation, Inside Style's experienced team will voyage to customer's fashion-hungry quarters to soak up ideas, budget plans, and homes' very essence. A thorough studying of dwellings' architectural plans allows designers to properly plan furniture arrangement, dimensions, and support-beam scavenger hunts. Then, using their creative right brains and left eyes, Inside Style's experts can offer advice and further ideas for improvement concerning lighting, furnishings, color scheme, fabrics, and floors to fit any design and lifestyle.

In addition to interior-arrangement brainstorming, Inside Style also boasts an array of unique furniture from more than 100 brands, as well as custom-made pieces. Show some individuality with a personally created table engraved with your social security number (prices for custom tables vary; standard tables cost $250), or opt for a premade body-holder from furniture crafters such as Vanguard, Global Views, or Lazar. Cozy chairs ($400) are ideal for snuggling, and lamps ($100) are perfect for illuminating a book, a crossword puzzle, or a piece of overly dark chocolate cake.
