Hey friend!
Do you ever wonder which items you should splurge on (and which to save) when you're decorating or furnishing your home? This common question is something we're talking about in today's epsiode.
What home decorating items should I splurge on and which should I save money on?
Saving and splurging is all based off of personal finances, priorities, need, design style/personal preference, but how I base my decisions currently, in this season of life...
The four items I would SPLURGE on:
1. Anchor pieces: These are the pieces that are too costly to replace every couple of years. They generally need to stand the test of time so having higher quality (= higher price point) can be beneficial.
2. Electrical: Unless I felt confident changing out my own overhead light fixtures or hiding cords, I would without a doubt splurge on this expense. Changing your overhead light fixtures is a relatively inexpensive way to add A LOT of character and personality to your home.
3. Hiring for built-ins: Built-ins, when done well, instantly elevate your home making it look more finished with character and charm. If building something is not within your wheelhouse, this is an expense worth splurging on!
4. Updating foundational pieces: I am not referring to the foundation of your building/home. But I am referring to the foundation of your cohesive design plan and there are two foundational items within your homes that SHOULD be paid attention to: your floors and your walls. If one of those is 'off' it will likely throw off you entire design. Because it's that important, choices you bring in should be filtered through the lense of "Does this work with my foundation - floors/walls." If the flooring is disjointed, saving and investing there will reap BIG design rewards (and re-sale too!).
