Need help looking for living room decor on a budget
Anyone know where I can get am inexpensive marble coffee table set? Also an area rug to put by the couch. Looking for wall mirror set as well. If anyone knows a store I can go to or a site online please let me know
Re: Need help looking for living room decor on a budget
It depends on your style. From what you state you are looking for, it sounds like you prefer traditional furniture.
To be honest, from planning my wedding to just redoing my kitchen, I google for everything. I've found amazon.com to be a good place to search for specific items, you then get access to the website that sells the stuff directly. I've also used www.bhg.com (Better Homes and Garden) to search in their shopping section to get names of additional websites that have items of interest. Wayfair.com is a furniture and home decor website.
My style lends itself to Ikea, which has a wide variety of items, but mostly newer looking. I know they don't have marble tables, but they have a large selection of mirrors and rugs. I also look at traditional major retailers like Macy's, JC Penney, Target, Kmart, Sears, Carson's, Pier 1, etc.
For the marble table set you are probably going to want to search brick & mortar stores by visiting them, because the shipping will be expensive.
Good luck.
I agree with PPs. Online retailers and in-person trips to check out Goodwill and Salvation Army might be your best bet.
In addition to the ones listed, you could try Overstock.com, Big Lots, Sears Outlet.
Our local Art Van had a ridiculous tent sale this past weekend and did an auction where they let furniture go for insane discounts (started bidding low to incite bidding war that didn't happen, haha), so you could see if anything like that is going on locally.
Yard sales, peddlers malls, freak markets and thrift stores... I would hesitate to buy upholstered items from them due to bed bugs, but we have gotten plenty of trinkets and accent furniture from places like that. It may take a coat of stain or paint but will be far cheaper than anything buy new.
plus the benefit is you can buy something that's older and well made for about the same price as a really cheap and more poorly made newer object a lot of times. You end up spending the same amount but get a longer lasting product. We got into this habit back when we were on a budget of looking at those types of places first, and now that we can afford better things we still do that because sometimes you can find an amazing steal that normal would cost an arm and a leg. As a result people who visit us think our furnishings and mini knacks cost much more than they did.
