Pretty European Country Style Finds on a Budget

European Country Style Finds on a Budget is a friendly priced answer to getting the look if money trees have not yet bloomed in your garden. Furniture from Target and Amazon? I mean…I just had a physical with my doctor on my smartphone. Robots are writing blog posts. Is anything NOT odd in the 2020s? There are reasons beyond price point these pieces may fit the bill. Obviously for the budget conscious. But also, could they work for a second home, a rarely used room, a furnished rental, or an airbnb property? Thank goodness pretty things aren’t reserved for just a few.

Studio McGee’s Belgian Style Upholstered Dining Chair

If you have spied these chairs (typically they are covered in linen slipcovers) then you may know how pricey they are.

Belgian style upholstered arm chair, Studio McGee for Target – Even simply a pair of them at a table can be lovely. Isn’t this a great look mixed with woven chairs?

Mine are from RH years ago, and I’m afraid to even check on the current price.

Fine. $995 each for the Belgian linen (sand) version like mine, or $746 each with RH member pricing.

That’s why there’s a friendlier priced one on the mood board above and why this one from Studio McGee stands out as a wildcard. (BTW this mood board mostly does not belong with the rest of the inexpensive finds here except to provide contrast!).

So these Studio McGee chairs have a reasonable price tag at about a quarter of the price, and the style? So timeless. I haven’t tired of this classic style yet! As you can see above, they aren’t just useful at the dining room table.

Not sure it even matters what you pair with them which makes them extra valuable.

Are you a fan of a bench cushion on a sofa?

This sofa is similar to our RH slipcovered track arm sofa in Belgian linen (sand), and I’m a fan of the bench cushion.

It provides a great foundation for any number of accent pillows and throws so you can change it up over the years. And it certainly isn’t strictly “European Country” or even country!

Neutral enough to blend with modern schemes, it will definitely conform to your unique mix.

You have to admit that a limited budget frequently leads to unexpected creative adventures and a more innovative design result.

For example, I would love to cover the walls of my bedroom with a pretty grasscloth covering. But I also have to think about budget and future owners of this home because I don’t know if we’ll be staying a long time.

The big picture helps us avoid decorating over-expenditures and decisions we’ll regret.

A Favorite Thrifty & Slender Side Table

Even though grasscloth would be beautiful, I’m thinking of other options such as a budget friendly statement wall in that bedroom.

Round bronze accent table with accordion style base and little claw feet - a chic side table for living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms and beyond.
Round Accent Table…certainly one of my all time favs!

I have done my share of budget friendly statement walls! Did you see the uber-frugal French script statement wall I stenciled in a guest bedroom (the stencil and chalk paint probably came to 40 bucks)?

Funny quote with humor on Hello Lovely Studio.

(Someone saw a photo of that wall on FB and alerted me French script is soooooo five minutes ago. Um. Pardon, madame, NOPE. Timeless is timeless, mes amis.)

Rustic Touches That Bring Function

Topiaries & Boxwood

Funny quote with humor on Hello Lovely Studio.

In Search of a Pretty Pouf…

For me, the beauty of the decor is often tied to adjectives such as: understated, quiet, faded, organic, raw, natural and honest.

Is every piece here imbued with those qualities? No (especially when the first word in the description is ‘faux.’)

But occasionally it is okay to begin with inferior pieces to inject a bit of the flavor or color before upgrading later, down the line.

Another option few folks seem to consider is customizing an “almost perfect” find to enhance or correct its color.

Brene Brown quote about courage and integrity on Hello Lovely. #brenebrown #quotes #selfcare

If a piece has the simple lines you’re after and is the right proportion but comes with a funky finish, consider making it one of a kind with a tweak or two.

Hand-finished pieces are often far more attractive than factory finishes, and the hands finishing a piece can be yours!
