Budget Friendly Home Decor: Tips & the Look for Less

July 10, 2019 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Do you want a beautifully decorated home, but have a tight budget?. . .Well, this post is for you.  The key is picking out specific pieces that all tie together and offer the biggest bang for your buck.  I have curated an amazing selection below that will make your home look very high end, but won’t break the bank!  Check out all this budget friendly home decor!

One of the mistakes people make when they are trying to decorate on a budget is buying lots of little, inexpensive things here or there.  Problem is you just end up with lots of things that don’t tie together so your space looks unorganized and doesn’t have the feel you want.  Best thing to do is go in with a plan.  Buy substantial pieces that make a big impact.

  1. KEEP IT SIMPLE:  You don’t need a ton of stuff to have your home look decorated, in fact too much stuff hurts the look and your budget.  Spend your budget on things like lamps, pillows, throws and frames.  These items add color, texture, are functional and are large in scale.
  2. BUY CLASSIC PIECES: If you are on a budget, buy classic pieces that will be in style even as trends change.  If there is a trend you love and want to incorporate do it in less expensive decor items.  The furniture you purchase should be timeless.
  3. OLD BOOKS: Decorating with old books is a great way to add style to your home on a tight budget.  Hit up garage sales, Half Priced Books, etc and stack them through your home.  Large scale ones look great on a coffee table, or stacked with a small vase and flowers on top.  They also make great bookshelf filler.  One tip is to remove the covers.  Typically the book underneath is much prettier.  Also if you find some large scale books, but don’t love the cover you can wrap the in craft paper or turn them backwards so you only see the pages facing forward.

BUDGET FRIENDLY HOME DECOR

All of these items coordinate well together and you cannot beat the price.  One important thing when buying inexpensive furniture and decor is to check the reviews.  You don’t want to spend a limited budget on items that won’t hold up or are bad quality because then eventually you have to replace them which hurts your budget.   All of these items have amazing reviews.  Everything is under $200 and most items are under $50!!

  1. RUFFLE BEDDING:  Not only is this bedding beautiful, but it is an amazing price.  3 piece set comes with duvet and 2 shams. ONLY $54 for a King size!  Simple, classic, gorgeous with great reviews!
  2. VELVET PILLOW WITH GOLD ZIPPER: Yall, I love these pillows.  They look soooo expensive and are ONLY $14.88!!  Feather filled, velvet fabric with gorgeous gold zipper detail.  That detail makes it unique and custom looking.  Comes in tons of colors!  Add these around your home for an inexpensive pop of color and style.
  3. FARMHOUSE BOOKSHELF: This bookshelf is a steal of a deal.  Get beautiful extra storage for LESS THAN $140!!  Great reviews, great price.
  4. TRIPOD LAMP: This lamp looks like Pottery Barn, but LESS THAN $25!  Are you kidding me??  This lamp is a great size and comes with a beautiful shade.  This is such a great bang for your buck!! Amazing reviews and such a beautiful piece.
  5. MODERN FARMHOUSE COFFEE TABLE: ON SALE FOR UNDER $70!!!  What??!!  Snag one of these stat! Faux cement top with beautiful X details.  This is a must have if you need a coffee table!
  6. SET OF 4 FRAMES: ONLY $20.99!! 4 frames with wood frame.  11×14 size with matte that makes it 8×10.  Create a gorgeous collage with these frames for an amazing price.

  8. FARMHOUSE TRAY: This beautiful tray would look amazing on a coffee table or in your kitchen stacked with plates, etc.  ONLY $15.88 with great reviews.
  9. STUDDED DRUM SHADE: This lamp shade is so beautiful and the studded details make it look so much more expensive than it is!  Get this gorgeous shade for ONLY $13.41 for the large size!!

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I’m letting you in on a little secret...my potted flowers are not real 🤫

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!

❤️AMAZON PRIME SALE❤️ : these are part of the big Amazon sale going on right now

Our family loves fruit, but I HATE how fast it goes bad! I cannot tell you how many times I have thrown out fruit for mold...in just a few days!!

These produce containers have been a game changer! They come in different sets on Amazon for a great price. I bought the 5 piece set because I wanted the larger size container.

They make it so easy to have quick, healthy food ready to go! Each container comes with a colander so you can rinse the fruit and then put it in the container. It allows air to circulate keeping the produce fresher longer!

Can be used for fruit, veggies, meat, etc!
-Dishwasher safe
-leakproof
-amazing reviews!!

🍓comment SHOP for links!
