We’ve all been at the crossroads of big dreams and little budgets, and we’re here to offer some advice: Start small. That means there are some things you should invest in now — step away from that IKEA sofa — and some things you can afford to buy cheap and upgrade later. The most important step? Stick to one room at a time.
Here’s a “starter kit” we created to show you how to do just that.

Buy Now: A Quality Sofa
You’ve heard us say this before, and we will say it again: Don’t skimp on a sofa. Yes, it will eat up most, if not all of your decorating budget, but as the (semi-permanent) anchor of most living rooms, the sofa needs to withstand your TV binge-watching sessions and your evolving tastes down the road. Think: Well-madewith a timeless silhouette, like this Axel Sofa from Jayson Home.

Upgrade Later: Custom Upholstery
The right sofa doesn’t need upgrading, but if you want to make it your own at some point, the best way to do it is to have it reupholstered in a fabric (or a slipcover) of your choice.

Upgrade Later: A Statement Ceiling Fixture
When your budget allows, swap out generic flush-mount fixtures for a statement pendant or chandelier. You’ll be looking at your living room in a whole new light — literally.
Buy Now: Standard Pillow Inserts
For around $10, you could even get feather-down versions.

Upgrade Later: Graphic Pillow Covers
If a full-out reupholstery project is out of the question, the easiest way to give your side chairs or sofa a new look is to switch out the pillows. Covers run the gamut style-wise and won’t cost you much more than the inserts themselves. The ones we picked for our inspiration board, above, cost less than $50 at Wisteria.

Buy Now: Fail-Proof House Plants
Hardy greenery like snake plants and peace lilies are good choices if you’re looking for something relatively low-maintenance (and inexpensive) to give your living room some life.

Upgrade Later: Fresh-Cut Blooms
Floral arrangements will cost you (unless you go the grocery store route), and their short lifespan means you’ll have to replace them every few days — but there is nothing like an arrangement of garden roses to make a room feel magazine-ready.

Upgrade Later: A Luxe Layer To Top It Off
...But for a designer-approved “layered” look, you could also add a smaller, more detailed piece on top, later on.
