How to: Interior decor bargain shop

Everyone loves a good deal, actually, a GREAT deal. We want whatever we are buying to look authentic and to add to the emotion our home is trying to portray. But...many of us don't want to spend a crazy amount of money to spend on home decor - well I don't anyway. I like making every purchase worthwhile. So I balance it out.

For me I have a 50:50 rule. 50% of home decor should be nice unique, more expensive items that you can clearly tell are either a one off or a certain brand that you want to be seen in your home - fashionable items really. The other 50% should be non-branded less expensive items. These are like home 'fillers'.

For example:
In my living room on the dearer side I have an Ashley & Co candle, a G&E diffuser, five decorative accents, a throw and five Country Road cushions that I wanted because of their lovely texture and prints.
On the less expensive items I have five ornaments, a planter, two side tables, a tray, photo frames, an ottoman, a rug and a lamp - all of these items are actually from Kmart NZ.

The more expensive items are certain brands or popular items on trend, or cushions that have beautiful material. These add to the vibe of your home. The less expensive items are items that are on trend but don't need to be a particular brand at all. Their value isn't really present. For example the plant, decorative accents, a tray etc..

Here are a few less expensive items that you can get online which I absolutely love:
