Home Decor Look For Less Round Up Shopping

Affordable Modern Home Decor

August 23, 2021

Do you ever want to upgrade your home decor but budget restraints make shopping a bit challenging? I searched high and low for affordable modern home decor, and I even shocked myself. It’s amazing what you can find when you set your mind to it. From an expensive-looking cane coffee table to a gorgeous rug to simple faux plants, I’ve rounded up all my cheap home decor favorites.

All The Affordable Decor Styled In My Home

If you want plants without the maintenance of watering and repotting, check out this faux maidenhair fern drop-in. You literally unwrap, fluff, and pop it in a pot. I also grabbed this one, but it’s definitely on the smaller side. Since these faux plants have plastic leaves, just give them a rinse in the faucet or a good shake outside when they look a bit dusty.

I like a cute tray to wrangle all the accouterments on my desk. This little leather number gives me all the Hermes vibes without the price tag. It’s the perfect catchall for the laundry room, foyer, home office desk, or nightstand.

These velvet curtains are incredibly chic-looking plus they come in 12 different colors. They have a nice weight to them so they pool nicely on the floor as well. I purchased these budget-friendly velvet curtains for my bedroom and because they were so inexpensive, I could afford a second set for the living room.

Wooden chain link decor is the perfect sculptural accent piece on a coffee table, etagere, or bookshelf, but it’s been difficult sourcing one that’s budget-friendly. Thankfully Amazon upped their game with some sleek affordable modern home decor, and this wooden chain link is about $30 which is way less than this one I featured in my spring home decor ideas post.

Budget-Friendly Modern Home Decor From Amazon

A black and gold modern sconce for under $35 that looks like the Circa sconces I have in Potty Paradise – I’ll do this all day long sir.

This mid-century modern table lamp is under $100 and looks almost identical to this one by Regina Andrews.

Need to add height to a corner and can’t find an affordable bookshelf? I gotcha! Check out this faux olive tree, or pop this smaller one on a pedestal. Both are affordable options and since faux olive trees are trending right now in modern home decor, you’ll be in style to boot!

Check that faux plant on the shelf below. You guess it. That lil’ beauty is cheap, cheap, cheap too!

They say the devil is in the details, and they’re right when it comes to these decorative vents. If you have a bent, rusted, old heating vent visible in a bathroom or living room, give it an affordable, sleek upgrade. Just be sure to read the directions when it comes to measuring for the proper size. Ask me how I know.

If you caught my top trending cane furniture favorites, you know rattan is still trending in the decor world. After pressing publish, I found this incredibly affordable modern cane coffee table. The reviews are great and it’s a bargain at $150! Yup, I clicked add to cart licketty split.

Peep that large area rug! Yup, it’s also a steal of a deal. The 9′ x 12′ is only $360. I don’t know where else you can find a rug that cheap. Here’s another sneaky peek.

Cheap Area Rug For Living Room

I’ve dreamed about black and gold flatware – yes, I know I’m adulting hard when I say that – but I’ve been a bit wary of inventing my pennies due to rumors of scratches and discoloration. However, when it’s affordable like this and dishwasher safe, I’m willing to take the chance.

These leopard print playing cards are just too fun not to mention. I originally found them at a high-end home decor shop while visiting Napa, CA a few weeks ago, but they were priced at $45. Wait, wut? That’s a hard pass. However, I was sneaky and snapped a photo of the manufacturer and managed to spot them for about $15 (but sure to click the $1 coupon box if it’s still available).
