Thanksgiving decor

In this weekly post, I'm sharing chic decor tips and finds on a budget. This week, we're gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday. Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more inspiration!

Seasonal decor can be a little on cheesy side if you’re not careful. Some even reminds me of the seasonal, felted sweaters my high school history teacher wore. Since then, I’m always on the lookout for decor that is holiday appropriate, but doesn’t venture into ugly holiday sweater territory.

In this weekly column, I'm sharing tips to help you achieve high-style home decor looks—on a budget. This week we're chatting bedrooms. Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more inspiration.

When you think of a warm, cozy, and inviting bedroom, pillows galore, faux fur throws, and neutral yet cheery hues come to mind. If all that fluff isn’t your thing, you can still achieve the same level of comfort in a bedroom on the other end of the spectrum. Rest assured, cool tones and modern pieces can be comfortable and create a space you’ll want to laze away in.

If you have a small space, a rug can help serve as the statement piece of the room as well as a transitional piece between different aesthetics (modern and rustic or traditional and glam).

Ever wish your home could look like the pretty pictures you see in magazines (or on Pinterest)? In this weekly column, I'm sharing budget-friendly ideas to help you recreate luxe looking spaces for less. Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more inspiration.
