Decor Dilemma: Splurge vs. Save

Published
Hi cuties! Since fall is always a great tie for a home refresh, I figured now was a great moment to share my favorite tips on how to decide what to splurge on and what to save on when it comes to furniture and decor. Ultimately, we all have our own budgets and ideas about which items are going to warrant the biggest spend—but I find that keeping one simple rule in mind is super helpful if you're feeling stuck in a decision-making loop.

"The best way to think about what to splurge on vs. what to save on is to identify what is going to take up the most visual weight in your room—that could be two coffee tables, that could be a sectional, that could be a bed...splurge on those."

So, it may seem obvious, but it really comes down to splurging the most on your largest anchor pieces that you know are going to literally take up the most space, but also that you're going to use day in and day out.

If you take care of the big items—like the sofa, bed, dining table, sideboard, and dresser—first, then that gives you a clearer picture of what you have in your budget to spend on the finishing touches like wall art, decorative pillows, and coffee table books
