My Top 20 Decor Pieces Under $20

The Power of a Decor Refresh

The easiest and most affordable way to feel like you just got a whole room makeover, is to do a Decor Refresh. A Decor Refresh is more than just buying new items and replacing them with old ones. It’s clearing out your space, having a vision of what you’re wanting, and then executing in strategic steps.

HOW YOU KNOW YOU NEED A DECOR REFRESH


1. You love all of your furniture pieces separately, but something just looks “off” in your room, or it doesn’t feel fully put together. 

2. You dislike the way your home looks or you’re embarrassed of certain items. If you don’t LOVE looking at it, it does not need to be in your house.

3. If you’ve had the same items for a few years and you’re tired of looking at them.

4. You’re constantly buying and trying new pieces, but it’s an endless cycle of dissatisfaction.


There are two “layers” to a beautiful room. There is the foundation (furniture) and there is the decor (literally everything else).

You cannot have one without the other, or your space will be unbalanced + bland

Using a combination of colors, textures and live elements, can transform a room into a jaw dropping DREAM, something furniture alone cannot do.


To help you get started, I’ve rounded up my favorite 20 items for under $20

- Enjoy! XO

3. Dipped Planter $19

I love the natural, imperfect-ness of this planter. The neutral colors will match any scenario, while making your green plant pop! The contrast of the smooth white glaze with the natural clay is modern yet earthy. I mean, you can put this almost anywhere.. shelves, tables, window sills, just make sure whatever plant is inside will be happy!

4. Oval Brass Tray $20

I’m so obsessed with this tray!! The unique shape looks so good on an entry way table for keys, wallets, and the various things we tend to collect in our pockets and purses. You could also place this on a coffee table, on top of books or to hold: air plants, candle accessories like a snuffer/wick trimmer, a string of beads, polaroid photos, whatever nik naks that are important to you.

5. Velvet Pillow $10

These pillows are LIFE. They’re ten bucks, come in a bunch of beautiful colors, and pair perfectly with both neutral and statement pillows. I have shown these on my insta a few times. I love the “colorful pastel” look and doing these in pink, blue, and yellow is my JAM. It’s very California cool, and I would suggest picking out a few colors that are naturally happening within your room, and coordinating with those.

Simply stack this on top of a chic stack of books and maybe pair with a white vase.

My go to picture frame! You can put photos inside that are a little smaller than the frame, and leaves a unique edging.

This throw is both unique and timeless. I LOVE this green color because it’s so muted and adds a good earthiness without being GREEN.

15. Metal Loop Figure $19

Never underestimate what a decorative figure can do! It might seem silly to buy something that literally just sits there and serves no purpose. HOWEVER it can totally change the look of whatever you’ve got going on. It adds a sophisticated, artistic vibe to your vignette. I love them in my entryway on my console table to make a statement right when you walk into my house.

This “plant” is called String of Pearls. I cannot keep them alive for the life of me! Buy real plants whenever possible, but if you cant keep them alive, or need to stick it somewhere and want to forget about it (decor purposes only) I would go fake! I love this one because of the texture and brightness.
