Elevate your space on a budget

Instead of purchasing a bunch of trendy décor items that will fade out quickly, focus on core items such as good quality furniture, good quality bedding and a few pieces of timeless art.

All of us would love to live in a space that looks and feels sophisticated and luxurious, however not all of us can afford to go all out and spend a copious amount of money on homewares to achieve this.

Especially in today’s climate, with interest rates rising and the world becoming more expensive every day; it can be difficult to prioritize creating your dream home.

Having a small budget to work with in terms of home decorating doesn’t mean your space has to feel incomplete – read on for some steps you can be taking to elevate your home without breaking the bank!

Buy quality over quantity:

We know it can sometimes be difficult to stay up to date with the latest homeware trends, but we’re here to tell you – you don’t need to!

Trends will come and go, so it’s important to note that by prioritizing quality over quantity, you can create your own dream home, without spending unnecessary cash.

Instead of purchasing a bunch of trendy décor items that will fade out quickly, focus on core items such as good quality furniture, good quality bedding and a few pieces of timeless art.

Nothing lasts forever, but spending money on high quality bedding, such as our Mattress Toppers, Mattress Protectors, Underlays, Quilts, and our range of bed linen will not only provide you with the best night’s sleep but will also last for years!

It might feel like a big hit to your bank account in the moment, but you’ll thank us in a few years when you’re constantly replacing mid quality items.

Remove all clutter:

After all, a clean, minimalistic home will generally appear to be more put together and luxurious, without trying too hard!

By doing a home audit and going around your rooms, you might be able to pick up on a few areas that could be cleaned up or appear cluttered.

Removing or organizing unwanted items from your rooms will bring focus to the pieces you are actually wanting to showcase and will make your space feel much more sophisticated.

You can try and incorporate storage in areas where you need easy access to items, such as your living room or laundry. Our Nora Storage Baskets or our Laundry Bags will store items neatly without appearing cheap or ugly.

Add pops of colour/statements throughout:

Opting to include pieces of art, décor or bedding doesn’t have to be expensive! By adding pops of colour around your home, your space will look calmer and more expensive, than if you were to include too much colour just for the sake of it.

By focusing on neutral tones around your home, this will make you statement pieces feel even more special and timeless.

If you’re after some bold bedding, be sure to check out our range of quilt covers – styles such as Aletta, Amelia or Bloom are great, as they have just the right amount of colour to make a statement. Or if you’d rather stand out with texture, try Alice, Ruby, or Georgia.

In the living room, try and add a throw or cushion on the couch, for a quick and easy update. Our Meridian or Penelope range come in a range of versatile, fun shades.

For those small areas around your home that might need a bit of extra love, try and add a vase or two with your favourite bunch of flowers or hanging plant to really brighten it up. Browse our range of vases here.

So there you have it – with just a few small steps, you can create an opulent space on a budget! Make sure you check out our bedroom and living collections to get started today.
