Basically, You've Come to the Right Place!
If you're wondering how to decorate a room on any budget, you're in luck. Here at Kathy Kuo Home, evaluating and pricing furniture and home decor is our area of expertise. Before we dive into the details, though, let's make a few disclaimers about this article and what it costs to furnish a room.
1. The Average Spend: Providing Some Wiggle Room
We understand that most people tend to go over their budget when furnishing their space. So, our budget breakdown accounts for this fact by providing a little wiggle room. For each room type, we've created two budgets: one representing the higher end of a comprehensive interior design project and another with slightly more affordable options. On average, our clients tend to spend somewhere in between, and the budget per line item varies.
2. Exclusive, High-Quality Designer Furniture
At The Kuotes, we represent exclusive, high-quality designer furniture that you won't find at big box retailers. Our brand specializes in bringing you unique and exceptional design options. The prices reflected in this article are based on our clients and our extensive experience in interior design and product manufacturing. We believe these price points will provide you with beautiful, long-lasting designer furniture.
However, we also recognize the importance of working within your budget. Later on, we'll discuss which items we believe are worth investing in and which ones you can purchase at a slightly lower price. By following these tips, the cost to decorate your room will feel entirely manageable.
Note: In the pricing charts below, the dollar amounts in the right-hand columns refer to the total price of however many items you'll need. For example, if we recommend two side tables, you'll see the total price for both tables rather than the individual price for one.
3. Focusing on Furniture, Not Labor or Renovation Costs
In this article, we'll solely focus on furniture costs and exclude labor or renovation expenses. It's important to keep that in mind as you read through the budget breakdown. Custom pieces, custom drapery, large rooms, or a maximalist design style may entail additional costs that we haven't covered here. However, if you're just starting the design process, we hope this article gives you a better idea of what to expect when it comes to your furniture budget.
