Looking for home decorating ideas on a budget? Today is the last stop of my four-part series and we're heading into our house. I'll show you what's new and trending so whether you're shopping here or at more affordable stores, you'll know exactly how to spot a designer look for less. I'll share my best tips for recreating these designer ideas at Target, HomeGoods, and Amazon. So stick around for all the budget-friendly inspiration. Hi and If you're new, I'm Nikki Dee and I'm here to help you make your home look expensive without breaking the bank. Now let's head into our house w I only discovered our house when I was working as a design consultant at a competitor. At first I thought the name was our house but it's pronounced our house. They're known for sustainability using reclaimed wood, hand-forged materials, and partnering with artisans around the world. So when you shop here, you're not just buying furniture, you're investing in pieces with a story. I've honestly been obsessed ever since even though many people I know The first t It was styled with pendant light above, a round area rug underneath, and ottomans tucked in for extra seating. Small details make a big impact W Don't feel You could create a styled moment Another idea for your entryway was t When walking through stores An even better idea is to take a quick picture on your phone. Then when you're out and about shopping at stores For example, I saw a scalloped marble bowl at Home Goods for $50 that looked almost identical to the $200 version at our house. They also showed a more traditional setup with a console table style with lamps and artwork in between. And one of my favorite designer tricks was on display too. A tall pedestal with a floral arrangement in front of an arched mirror. It instantly creates a focal point and makes even a small space feel grand. Now t If you ever see one, grab it. They're perfect for elevating an entryway or filling an empty corner. You may have noticed a s T If you're updating your living room layout, it's a great way to make neutrals feel cozy and expensive. Right near the entrance, I saw a mushroom leather sectional paired with an organic coffee table that looked T Most of the sofas and sectionals were shown in neutral ivory performance fabrics For color, there was a navy sofa on display that had more of a traditional setting, but the real trendsetter was on the second floor. A pair of gorgeous channel back curved velvet sofas in a cinnamon color. They were styled with earthy neutrals and layers of texture. Now, w So unless cinnamon has always been your favorite, I recommend adding it through decor and accessories. Your sofa is the largest piece in your living room and one of the biggest investments. That's why I always recommend going neutral. A neutral sofa gives you flexibility. You can completely change your color palette just by updating the pillows, artwork, and your area rug. It's a much more affordable way to keep up with the trends than replacing your sofa every few years. Just I'm obsessed with their curved sofa for a contemporary look, but you do need a large space to pull it off. Always measure and create a floor plan before you invest. Another timeless layout idea is a sofa paired with two accent chairs. It's perfect for transitional spaces. And for a more casual laid back vibe, go with the modular sofa. I love the idea of using an ottoman in the center for open layouts. It connects the spaces beautifully and gives you extra seating from either side. At the end of the day, it really comes down to your style and your room. For help with both, I linked my design quiz and a floor plan PDF. These tools will help you discover your style and plan the perfect layout for your space. T Our house is so good at showing creative ways to use accent furniture. These are the pieces that make a space feel unique and special. Throughout the showroom, there were layered groupings of small tables in different heights and materials. The beauty of t You can move the smaller tables around if needed. Some displays even combine tables with ottomans that can be pulled out for extra seating. That said, For example, in the center of the cinnamon velvet sofas, there were four tables bunched together instead of a larger coffee table. Personally, I felt t Aside from tables, ottomans are used as part of the seating arrangement. They're an easy way to introduce a pop of color, pattern, or texture without committing to a big piece. You'll also find accent chairs throughout the our house showroom, from living rooms to bedrooms. T And we can't skip the bar furniture. Our house has a wide range of bar cabinet ideas, we have one in our sitting room from Crate & Barrel, and it's been a total game changer. It's functional, close to the kitchen, and makes a statement all at once. There was also t Arch details are trending in arc It's a great way to get the look without the construction costs. You could use the open shelving to display books, decor, and collectibles, w For a bolder option, t If you have t It's a stylish and practical solution.

Another detail you'll see is accent furniture in the bedroom If you have the space, place two chairs at the foot of your bed with layer tables. Another timeless option is a simple bench style with a pillow throw and side table for an elevated vibe. And don't forget your bedding. If you're starting off with a bed in the bag set, split it up and then update it by layering in different textures and fabrics. Yes, it may take a little more time and energy to make your bed each day, but the end result is a You also don't need to overdo it with pillows on your bed. It could be as simple as two printed pillows with a contrasting throw or even just one long velvet l If you're looking to invest in a quality dining table and chairs, our house is the place. Their tables often have mixed materials They also have a great selection of linear chandeliers w If you need storage, those arch cabinets we saw earlier also work beautifully in a dining room. Or you could go with an open shelving piece, but only if you don't mind dusting. Another t You'll see simple groupings One of my favorite setups was the mirror reflects the light and makes the whole space feel so much larger. These next ideas are perfect if you're looking to create a home office or even just a small work zone in your space.

It's a fresh update to the classic two-table lamp setup and really helps define the seating area. You'll see sculptural floor lamps and even those popular task floor lamps w And of course we can't leave our house without talking decor styling. Everywhere you look, you'll see vases styled with faux greenery, groupings of candles and trays layered with sculptural accents. Oversized planters were shown throughout the store.
