Can I give you one of the most valuable pieces of design advice I have ever learned? SPEND money on the things you sit on and SAVE money on the accessories. That is it. That is the rule. 🏡
Your sofa, your accent chairs, your dining chairs... these are the pieces that need to be quality because you are using them every single day and they are the backbone of your entire room. But your accessories? You can find the most incredible, interesting and unique pieces at antique stores, vintage shops, garage sales and flea markets for a fraction of what you would pay at a big box store. AND they will look so much more special and personal than anything you would find at HomeGoods because nobody else on your street has them. ✨
Now I do mix in some Amazon and big box finds because honestly there are some great pieces at a great price and it is all about balance. But knowing WHEN to splurge and when to save is one of the most important design skills you can develop. It is the kind of knowledge that saves you thousands of dollars over a lifetime of decorating your home and it is exactly the kind of thing I teach in The Seasoned Home, my brand new course launching this September. Get on the early bird waitlist now at RebeccaRobeson.com so you are first to know when doors open. 🏡
So tell me, are you a splurge on accessories person or a save on accessories person? I want to know in the comments 👇
