Gali and Mark’s New Living Room
< Back to Portfolio
The Challenge: Use affordable elements wherever possible, but keep the décor “high-end” looking to complement the beautiful quality of the house.
The Solution: Pairing high and low elements to disguise the budget pieces and create a high-end look.
Gali and Mark’s New Living Room
Because we were aiming for a high-end look but going budget on some items, I decided to disguise the lower end items (sofa and chairs) by using more visible higher end items (pillows and coffee table).
- Higher End:
- Coffee table from Wisteria.com
- We threw in some expensive designer pillows to give the essence of “high end”
- Attention-grabbing live edge wood console table from Etsy
- Gray Malin photo (graymalin.com)
- Lower End:
- If you’re looking to cut costs somewhere, I say go cheaper on the sofa! Truthfully, visitors won’t notice the difference between a $900 sofa or a $4,000 one
- Cheaper rugs (Wayfair.com sea grass rug + discount cowhide)
- Inexpensive mirror over the mantel (from CB2) saved us a fortune
- Brass Sea urchins from Target that I spray-painted gold.
