Where to spend, and where to save, when re-designing a living room according to designers

White living room with polished wood floor, white modular corner sofa and green velvet upholstered coffee table.

As much as we might wish otherwise, most of us don’t have an unlimited budget when it comes to transforming our homes. Knowing where to spend and where to save when re-designing a living room, then, is crucial if you want to strike a balance between style and practicality.

Luckily, it’s a well known fact that not everything needs a lot of money thrown at it to create an effective living room scheme. Certain elements like accessories can offer low-cost ways to tap into trends – while spending a little extra on more expensive furniture, for example, can encourage you to choose pieces that you’ll love for longer, meaning it’s a more sustainable way to design a space.
