Decorate on a Budget Without it Looking Cheap
- Edit Furniture, Make a Plan
Take a close look at your seating, tables, and storage. Sometimes we hold onto a piece just because it was expensive or Aunt Nadine passed it down to us. But, what’s really working in the space—and what isn’t? If nobody enjoys sitting on that old couch, it’s time for it to go!
Next, measure your rooms and create a grid. With your measurements in hand, shop the sales with a clear plan. And don’t forget your measuring tape!
P.S. Skip the MATCHED SETS. Aim for that “collected over time” vibe instead!
