There’s a special kind of design magic that happens when great style doesn’t come with a high price tag. As an interior stylist, I am constantly on the hunt for amazing accessories that add the perfect finishing touch to a home, whether it’s a handcrafted basket for blankets, a mossy pot for the plant stand, or a glamorous vanity tray.
My challenge often arises when a client wants to talk about what I call the “B word”—or what more sensible people would refer to as the budget. It’s one thing to walk into a design shop and find fabulous accessories when you have no spending limit, but that’s not often the reality. Over time, I have learned to welcome the structure that shopping within a budget creates and have become incredibly savvy in hunting for quality, low-cost options to round out my work projects and my own home as well.
