Budget Design Challenge: Can You Style a Room for Less Than $1,000? I Did!

May 6, 2025 · In: Amazon, Interior Design

I love a good design challenge—and this one had me seriously second-guessing myself. The other night, Jack turned to me and asked, “Do you think you could design a full room for under $1,000?” I paused. Honestly? I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. I mean, let’s be real—I adore designer pieces and have a gift for finding pricey pieces! But I also live for an amazing deal. So I opened up an empty mood board, started playing around… and within minutes, I had a full room pulled together that was stylish, cohesive, and—yes!—under $1,000!

Here’s the secret: the foundation of any well-designed room—budget or not—starts the same way. I always begin with the basics: a great rug to ground the space and establish flow. From there, I layered in curtains for height, art for personality, and of course, a bold focal point to deliver that designer drama. In this case, a graphic piece of artwork was the showstopper—high impact without the high price tag. Proof that you don’t need a big budget to create a space that feels elevated, intentional, and totally “wow.” This space may be wallet-friendly, but the look? All luxury!

#EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual T #EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual Travel Trend Report called Unpack ‘26 and it got me so excited about planning our next trip! 

One of my favorite trends? Farm Charm. In 2026, it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting - and farm stays are leading the way.​ Think nature walks, stargazing, and relaxing with friends and family. Vrbo highlights how travelers are trading city lights for starlit skies.

Guys!! It’s cozy season and the sheets you sleep on make such a big difference to how you feel as you run and jump into bed (or just glide in nonchalantly!) We love to get cozy with coffees, slow mornings, and cheesy rom coms… and of course, lots of books!

But these luxe sheets by @brooklinen also help us sleep better! They are very cooling and feel super silky! We chose the slate color and it’s so striking and warm! And the waffle weave blanket adds that extra layer of cozy! 

Check out their bundles and save even more! (Because you are going to want it all!) and you can mix and match the colors depending on your bedroom decor! Eekk! I’m soooo excited to get our cozy season started off just right! 

Comment COZY and I’ll send you the links to my faves! XxV
