Home Basics for Your Budget That will Stand the Test of Time
Since I moved out of my childhood home in college I've never lived in one place longer than a year, maybe 16 months tops. I've never felt the need to invest a whole lot of cash in my space because I knew I'd be jumping to the next in a few months. If you haven't already heard, the hubs + I recently relocated to So Cal + fell in love with our now home. Oh, we're definitely still renting, who isn't? But, nonetheless it's our home that we plan to be in for awhile (until we can buy, so yea, it may be awhile). So, I've been thinking...
What are the Basics Worth Investing In?
How much is too much? Will it outlive the current trends?
So many questions go into picking out the main pieces that really bring a home together + you don't have to throw down 5k for them! Through lots of trial + error + research, I've come up with some of my favorite basics that are sure to stand the test of time, while also keeping your bank account afloat. All of these basics I've chosen are versatile but, never boring + always stick with neutrals.
Top 8 Budget Basics
Quality Bedding
Like this linen Parachute duvet set. These will last for years + only look better with time. Gray, white or black is the way to go.
Accent pouf
Your Pouf will become your best friend + one that lasts. A quality pouf will age well + hold its shape. The perfect space filler!
ceramic serving bowl
A timeless + neutral ceramic serving bowl is so versatile- from your dining table to coffee table it's got style + class.
SHEEP SKIN THROW
Splurging a bit for a quality sheepskin will change your space, it adds luxe + comfort to any surface + is worth the money.
Dream Sofa
This sofa is my dream sofa + under 2k! You may have to save a bit before you purchase but, don't be afraid to get the one you want!
ACCENT CHAIR
The accent chair that makes your heart sing (like this one for me) will stay with you for life. Do a bit of searching for the right one!
all purpose stemware
Purchasing 6-8 high quality all purpose stemware is a great investment. They'll probably stay with you just as long as the accent chair.
Multi purpose Floor Lamp
A multi-purpose floor lamp can travel throughout your space. One that is classic, simple + high quality will never go out style.
