Don’t skimp just so you can do more. Do purchase as high quality furnishing and items as your budget allows. Keep in mind your lifestyle, and think long term; purchase well performing furnishings and fabrics that will last.
Pay special attention to quality of construction and materials best suited for long life and durable use. You don’t want to have to start replacing poorly made furnishing after only a few years. So when money is an issue – first must cull through your list of possibilities.
Separate needs from desires. Purchase the best quality materials, furnishings, and essential room accents possible to bring your room design to life. And then if you’re still within your budget – have fun selecting non essential items from your “desires list,” to tie everything together.
