The latest findings show that people put off renovating so long that now there’s pent up demand. If you’re on a budget, where do you draw the line? If you’re looking around seeing things that need to be done, take a breath. Yes, you want value and long lasting quality, but where can you compromise?
I’m working on a project in which the clients are budget pressed, so we’re combining items for a high/low budget. We chose excellent quality and higher price for the sofa and had to go with a lower quality and price for the accessories.
Check out some of these beautiful and affordable accessories
- A Pottery Barn area rug, elegant and budget friendly
These Suzanne Kasler lamps are gorgeous…from Ballard
The right mirror adds a sense of flair to a space…mirrors from Horchow

The Interior Design Advocate™ does not promote any store, brand, or has any association with any company. But I made the point in this post that Wise Design doesn’t necessarily mean lowest cost or highest cost design. It means serving your long-term goals and making it work within your budget. Doing a high/low budget could be your answer.
