Inspired by fashion designer Adrienne Vittadini's $100,000 master suite,
Nate's bedroom "fakeover" has a similar lookâand it cost only
$2,500.
How to Decorate on a Budget
-
Put in a little legwork, and you'll save a lot of money. Shop bargain basements, online, and in catalogs to find some great deals.
-
Stores like Home Depot and Ikea often have low-priced knockoffs of designer items.
-
Need art? A budget-conscious solution is to go through old art books and pull out images you like. Put them in a frame (Nate found his for less than $20 at Cost Plus World Market) and you're all set!
-
Be creative. Nate used a blanket from Ikea to upholster luggage stands. The end result is a great pair of antique-looking benches.
-
You might be able to find designer discounts online. Try sites like eBay and Bluefly.com, which often carry sumptuous Frette linens.
