SPEND OR SAVE

We’ve all been there — scrolling through designer furniture, heart-eyes activated, only to be rudely reminded by the price tag that rent is also a thing. But what if you could get the look without blowing the budget?

Today, we’re breaking down two equally fabulous living room setups: one where we go full glam and spend, and one where we keep things very cute but budget-conscious and save. Because whether you're ballin’ or budgeting, your space should always be giving effortless style.

THE SPEND COLLECTION — Luxe Living, No Compromises

Total: $9,332.58

If you're ready to drop a check and bask in bouclé bliss, this is your moment. Think rich textures, sculptural shapes, and heirloom-level pieces that instantly elevate your space. This collection screams quiet luxury and timeless charm.

• Sofa – Cloudy curves and plush drama

• Coffee Table – Rustic elegance with major presence

• Area Rug – Neutral layers, high-end texture

• Accent Chair – Slipper silhouette meets coastal charm

• Floor Lamp – Sculptural meets functional

• Side Table – Futuristic vibes in a glossy moment

For the ones who believe your home should feel like a boutique hotel lobby — every day.

THE SAVE COLLECTION — Chic on a Dime

Total: $2,461.58

Budget babes, this one’s for you. We found lookalikes that don’t skimp on style, and the whole room costs less than some designer sofas. Same vibes, more in your wallet — yes, please.

• Sofa – Soft, sculpted, and surprisingly affordable

• Coffee Table – Modern simplicity, under $200

• Area Rug – Neutral tones, all the cozy

• Accent Chair – Chic lines for less

• Floor Lamp – Minimalist and versatile

• Side Table – Trendy shape, small price tag

Perfect if you're furnishing your first apartment, flipping a space on a budget, or just love a good deal.

Final Thoughts

Whether you go full-out or find the smart dupe, both of these rooms are curated to deliver major design energy. It’s not about how much you spend — it’s how you style it. So splurge, save, or mix and match... either way, your space = a vibe.
