When it comes to rugs, texture usually comes at a price.

This rug however boasts a super luxe chunky knit texture while coming at a steal of a price.

The neutral color options keep the rug flexible to be used in both modern and traditional spaces.

Whether you need just one or a full wall of the stairway shelf, this is a tried and true product I have used in countless projects.

The white lacquer material gives a high-end feel with easy breezy upkeep.

The two screw mounting system makes for the easiest built-in look you’ll ever find…really.

Much like the stairway bookshelf, I like this piece for its ability to be used by itself or lined up in a row to build an extra-long console as needed.

I myself have two of the navy credenzas under my TV and they make for a strong color statement in the space as well as lots of extra storage for “stuff” beyond your standard media equipment.

The credenza is also low enough that it could even work as an extra-large bedside table if you have the space for it!

Custom window treatments can come at a huge cost, so finding ready-made drapes with a high-end look is a huge win.

These drapes have done me well in the past with their classic stripe pattern, adding in thoughtful detail.

The blackout lining also makes for a great bedroom window treatment option.

This is a sofa I can suggest to many different kinds of clients with many different kinds of spaces.

The bench cushion silhouette makes for a super chic high-end look, while the 84” length provides flexibility for a variety of different sized rooms big and small.

The sofa also comes in a great assortment of upholstery options to customize to your design.

I use this open box frame accent table ALL THE TIME. In fact I used in Lindsay’s living room! It’s one of my favorites because of its extreme flexibility.

The open shelf function makes for a great nightstand or classic side table, and the wide open space allows the table to sit next to or parallel to a sofa or side chair for various floorplan possibilities.

I love a glass desk—simple, elegant, and often very affordable. This desk is a go-to for me because of the mixed material style and medium size dimensions.

Another reason I love this piece in particular is the tucked in pedestal base, which allows for seating on all four sides, making the table functional as a small dining table in addition to a workspace.

One of my favorite tips in sourcing low-price-point high quality furniture is looking for the material of metal.

Metal holds up great, looks and feels substantial and authentic and is extremely affordable.

This console is a great medium size that can be used in all sorts of places in the home, and the second shelf provides storage and functionality.

My philosophy in lighting design is the bigger and bolder the better!

Large interesting lighting pieces with color, pattern, texture, and shape add such a special layer of design to a room, and can take it from “something’s missing” to a fully realized space.

I love this lamp because of its larger scale size and interesting texture.

The darker shade makes for an interesting statement piece while remaining neutral enough to be used in all kinds of designs.

Sometimes (and when I say sometimes, I mean always) you just need a place to throw stuff and close the doors.

This wardrobe/cabinet is one of my go to’s, with its dual functionality of full shelving or a hanging bar for clothes.

Although it packs a punch in its storage capacity, the cane material and open-air base give the piece a light non-obtrusive feel.

A common mishap I see in client’s spaces is a lack of
attention to the walls!

Wall shelving will undoubtedly add function to your home, but the layer of dimension and material will up your design game exponentially.

I love these Mix & Match shelves as an affordable way to layer in a dose of real marble stone so as to add a luxury detail.

In addition to the optimal motion feature of this chair, the down filling and slipcover upholstery make for a comfortable and chic piece of furniture at a truly attainable price.

Not all bed frames are the same! Just because your basic metal bed frame got your mattress off the ground does not mean it is really doing your bedroom justice.

A small rattan accent chair like this is a great size for a dining, desk, or living room accent chair. It also can be used indoors or out for bonus flexibility.

It's a great example of how affordable home decor can instantly elevate a room.

Much like drapery, window shades are tricky to achieve without a custom job.

These CORDLESS bamboo romans, however, have saved the day for me over and over again, and I even have them in my current apartment which I rent.

The multitude of sizes in which they are offered means you’ll always have the perfect fit.

One thing to keep in mind: you can always place two of them together for extra wide large-scale windows in your home!
