Luxe vs Less

Just where is it worth spending large in the home?
While we’d all love a limitless budget when it comes to home furnishings, for most of us, the reality is far less exciting. From sofas to cushions and accessories, it’s often hard knowing when to save and when to splurge.
“High-impact interiors needn’t cost the earth—it’s simply a matter of buying smartly,” says interior stylist and writer Amy Collins-Walker. “I advise purchasing a couple of investment pieces and styling them back with inexpensive, on-trend homewares you can rework on a seasonal basis.”
Keep it fresh
“All of these homewares can be found in mid-range retailers, so there is much more choice than there used to be,” Collins-Walker says. “The beauty of it is that you can move the pieces on when you tire of them or the trends change.”
