Affordable Decor 3 Ways: Chinoiserie, Coastal, Grandmillennial
I have been asked several times to round up the best affordable decor for coffee table and bookcase styling. The truth is I am a blend of three design styles and many of you are too according to my recent poll! So whether you are a fan of chinoiserie, coastal or grand millennial at heart, I have found some really spectacular pieces. Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, or Dining Room these selections can be used all over your home!
Ok, first up are these gorgeous CHINOISERIE FINDS! Every thing is under $60 which is incredible since these are basically dupes of super pricey items elsewhere. The majority of items are actually under $30 and several are Amazon! I have not seen a double happiness jar of this quality for only $55. I’m super impressed! These items are perfect for styling your coffee table for shelving. Click here to shop
Coffee Table Styling Idea: Stack the coffee table books on your blue tray, and top with the wooden beads and cricket. use your potted orchid on the table too, to create a tall piece creating a right triangle with your decor. Include a pretty photo of your family/kids and the coasters to introduce metals and texture! Click here to shop
Bookshelf Styling Idea: Use the green pillar artichoke and pineapple ceramics to create high/low decor in your bookcase. Use your foo dogs as bookends! They are sturdy and weighty enough to use this way. Use moss covered pebbles and place them in your hammered gold bowl. place the bowl to the side of your double happiness jar for a truly classic look. Click here to shop
Ok, next up we are going COASTAL! I am fairly particular about the coastal theme because while I enjoy coastal, I do not love glaringly nautical. These pieces are super classic and breezy. Perfect for your light and bright home celebrating the inviting nature of the sea sans anchors. These items are all under $56 Click here to shop.
Coffee Table Styling Idea: Stack coffee table books inside of rattan tray. I own this tray and it is SUCH a good side. top the books with your oyster shell and wooden beads. Next to the books, inside of the tray place your tall hurricane glass and candle and coasters. Click here to shop.
Bookshelf Styling Idea: Stack your books bindings facing out and top with your smaller hurricane glass and telescope. Place your vase of hydrangeas of a shelf and place in front of it a set of the wooden bead garland and set of keys. Use the two hurricane glasses to create a high low on your selfing and place a sea urchin in front of the two creating a high/low effect. Click here to shop.
Finally, we finish with the classic beauty of GRANDMILLENNIAL DECOR! You won’t believe this, these items are all under $35! The beautiful vase is actually on sale, and is regularly $55. Soft florals, brass, cream and glass keep traditional style modern enough that you’re not looking too grandmother-ish. A refreshed granny-chic if you will. Click here to shop
Coffee Table Styling Idea: Stack your coffee table book inside your cream frame. Top with magnifying glass. Place the octagonal glass box next to the book and fill with a few brass figs. The figs sell out regularly and this is the first time I have seen them back in stock! Place your vase of tulips next to the tray and add your scalloped rattan coasters. Click here to shop
Bookshelf Styling Idea: Place your glass candle holder and snuffer on top of a coffee table book to two. Place vase of tulips next to a moss ball and place the two brass ducks in front of them. Fill tree branch frames with photos of loved ones laying the magnifying glass in front of them. Click here to shop
