Decorating on Budget: Living Room

Wiggles Pig here. I was recently approached by some clients who wanted me to create a living room that was high on style but low on cost.

I always tell my clients that a great way to start decorating a room when they’re watching their KinzCash is by starting small. A living room doesn’t have to be huge. A smaller room means they won’t have to purchase as many items, and the end result can be quite cozy.

The first thing I like to do is check out the sale items in the W-Shop. There are a lot of great deals to be had. I found this tasteful blue and white striped couch that was the inspiration for my clients’ living room. I wanted to find another color that would complement the blue and when I discovered these Electric Green Chairs for only $120 each I knew my search was over. Blue and green is a classic combination.

The wood floors in the W-Shop are always a great deal, and with our light blue and bright green the Golden Wood floor added to the fresh, breezy look I was after. The muted shades of the Pastel Green Wallpaper tied my color scheme together – for just $90. A Wicker Chair paired with a Leafy Side Table (there’s that green again!) and an Accordion Shade Lamp make an ideal reading nook for my clients.

And remember that blue and white couch I started with? Well, I finished off the space by picking up the white with accents like the Creamy Vanilla Side Table and Flowered Room Divider.

A simple Half Tatami mat, and a few plants later, I have a simple, comfortable living room in soft, airy tones that will have my clients chillin’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And all for less than $2000 – now that’s super!

    Come on no offense but I could do much better than that. It’s just a matter of different wall paper and a better seating arrangement; that is just bad.

    Well I mean it is pretty good for those who don’t have money. But it does need a bit more furniture. Personally I like mine better, mine has the nursery floor white walls the wicked armchair from the nursery the pink tv (plasma) a white cream couch, the bamboo desk with the nursery carpet, a pink chair with the desk, the nursery music thingy and the peace puppy’s plasma peace sign. But this one is good for people with not a lot of money. So in all I kinda like it. Good job! :) mrgreen

    Um, sorry, but it looks like a room that needs to be redone, rather than a made over room. It is too empty and it just doesn’t look right. Sorry.

    There is a LOT of empty space in that room, the sofa isn’t again the wall, the chairs are set midway in the room, etc

    I usually spend approx 10,000-15,000KC to decorate a room

    a bump in KC awards would be very much appreciated and is needed :-)

    I love that design! Everybody is saying it’s too plain, but I like it that way. Just nice and simple. It’s a living room, so all there’s really supposed to be is a sitting area. I think that is a really great room for 2000 kinzcash!

    i’m sorry but i don’t really appreciate the room (not to be rude) because it feels so … empty! I can decorate a super duper better room with less than 1600kc, now that’s what you call decorating on budget!

    You can use the wallpaper thats like 60 or below kc it will still look good
    the really cheap couches and just arrange them
    you HAVE TO HAVE A TV
    some very cheap plants like the orchid or amarylis
    a yellow rug and a white shaggy rug
    a teddy bear
    a book on a very cheap side table
    and a tall lamp

    you should try this and also add your own stuff. BE CREATIVE :)))
    Love,
    Bonnie <3

    *sigh* Wiggles, Wiggles, Wiggles…

    Where do I start?

    Firstly, stripes are so not in season right now.

    Secondly, what’s with the midget rug?
