Interior Design Looks for Less

Decorating Ideas, Tips and Trends

It’s no secret that I love finding designer inspired pieces at a more affordable price point. Over the past few months, I’ve been keeping a list of some of my finds, and I’ve finally compiled them all into one post! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite interior design looks for less!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

There’s absolutely something to be said for the quality of designer pieces in many situations. However, sometimes our budgets don’t align with the prices of those items, even though we love the look! So, when budget doesn’t allow for the high-end pieces, it can be fun to find more budget-friendly alternatives.

This first set of finds are all very coastal inspired! The combination of all of these products gives a very high-end look but at a fraction of the cost of the designer versions!

A collection of interior design looks for less! Includes French bistro chairs, linen armchair, tripod lamp, nautical mirror, white striped cutting board, rattan console table, gold Darlana lantern look for less, and more!

SOURCES: Round Nautical Mirror | Pair of Bistro Chairs | Tripod Lamp | Linen Swivel Armchair | White Wood Cutting Board | Natural Wood Cutting Board | Similar Rattan Console Table | Backless Bistro Counter Stool | Gold Pendant Light

This next set of finds are all lighting related. And this is the first time, I’ve actually found a really great gold version of the Darlana pendant light for less!

Interior design look for less lighting options! Includes a gold pendant light, David Hicks light for less, wicker sconce light, white bead flush mount light, scallop light fixture, white and gold cone pendant light and more!

SOURCES: Gold Lantern | Scallop Light Fixture | White & Gold Cone Light | Black & Brass Round Pendant | Bronze Cone Pendant | White Bead Flush Mount | Wicker Sconce | White Wood Bead Flush Mount | Linear Chandelier 

This next set includes pieces that coordinate with many others in the post. If you’re in the market for a bar cart, this bistro style bar cart is a total steal right now since it’s on clearance! And this beaded chandelier is a great look for less for the one we have in our guest bedroom.

Designer looks for a less with a bead chandelier, blue and white scallop bedding, raffia side table, bistro counter stool, white hobnail planters, wood grid cabinet, and bistro bar cart!

SOURCES: Bead Chandelier | French Bistro Counter Stool | Scallop Bedding | Rattan Side Table | Similar Bistro Bar Cart | Pair of White Hobnail Planters | Garden Stool | Similar Wood Grid Cabinet

A few weeks ago I shared a table lamp I found and fell in love with. I still haven’t found a more affordable version, but I did find this floor lamp version that looks a whole lot like this one! Here a few more designer-inspired finds!

Interior designer looks for less with a wicker floor lamp, white spindle table, gold arch mirror, gold cone pendant light, natural bar stool, white spindle chair, striped backless counter stool and recycled glass beads.

SOURCES: Rattan & Metal Floor Lamp | White Spindle Table | Gold Arch Mirror | Brass Pendant Light | Outdoor Wall Lantern | Natural Woven Counter Stool | Striped Backless Counter Stool | Spindle Chair | Recycled Glass Beads (also available here and similar option found here)

Are there any other designer pieces that you’re looking for a less expensive alternative for? Let me know in comments. If you guys like this post, I can plan to make these interior design looks for less a regular series as I find new items!

      So happy to hear that! You’ll have to let me know what you think of the quality once you get them since there aren’t any reviews!

      It looks like it sold out! Here’s the same one (but also sold out). For some reason it looks like Amazon deleted the listing when it went out of stock. https://shopstyle.it/l/bj8BM. Sorry about that!

    Always enjoy your posts and I absolutely love this one – thank you! I’m looking for a large white cone pendant similar to the one in the second group but with a shade that is not fabric. Please let us know if you come across one!

      It looks like they sold out! I’m not sure why they now show that page instead of just saying that. Ugh. But these are very similar! https://shopstyle.it/l/bkeMT. You can also find the exact same ones as the original on Etsy here: https://shopstyle.it/l/bkeOU.

    great post! I will be ordering a couple things soon. I would love to see woven (like over your island) lights especially ones that are shorter in length for lower ceiling (maybe wider, not as long). Ha!!! I sound crazy. thanks for your posts!
