Small Budget, Big Style

-

Can’t find that sleek, modern piece on Ebay or Craigslist? Are the sales at DWR still too steep? There are plenty of other great deals to be had for those searching for the right piece of modern furniture that fits into their spaces and budgets.

Here are a few stylish finds that keep budget sustainability in mind:

This Reclaimed Oriental Rug (shown at top) rolled out by VivaTerra has the beauty of a hand knotted masterpiece for just $119 for the 6″x9″, a great size for under a coffee table or at the foot of a bed. I love to layer rugs. This one is great for throwing over an inexpensive sisal or sea grass.

The Mid-Century armless sofa from Urban Outfitters is an amazing deal at $550 with strong eco-friendly hardwood finished in a rich walnut stain. The back cushions can be removed to convert the sofa to a comfy daybed. It’s now available in gorgeous shades of blue, green, red and natural. It really works well for a living space moonlighting as your guest toom as it easily converts to a bed.

You can still afford to have breakfast in bed when the bed is the Barbados platform design of sustainbly harvested wood from Eco Furniture, $395 for the queen. I love the light finish but you can also opt for two darker woods, ebony and cordovan. It’s really a good buy if you consider modern platform beds from DWR start at $1500 and go way up from there.

They call these Inhabit fixtures Chump Change and they seem to fit the bill, packing a big stylish punch with a reasonable tag of $168 at Feel More Human.
