Home Sweet Home: Knockout vs Knockoff (Interior Decorating on A Budget)

After moving from an apartment to an almost three thousand square foot house, I knew we were going to need a lot of house decor and furniture.  I wanted our house to have a country modern feel (i.e. rustic woods, antique niches, soft warm colors, copper and bronze metal finishes).  There are ton of stores in the Houston area where you can find great decor and furniture at a great price such as Homegoods, Kirklands, Garden Ridge, Ashley Furniture, World Market, Hobby Lobby, Ross, and even Walmart.

Here are some tips for bargain decor shopping:

• Look at sales ads
• Print coupons (many stores have coupon on their website or will send you coupons to your email when you register your email)
• Look for the sale or clearance aisle.
• Browse website like Pinterest, store websites, Better Homes and Garden, and HGTV for inspirational ideas.
