Affordable Modern
Want a fabulous modern interior but don’t want to spend crazy cash? The Design Diva offers a few tips for you…
Classic modern furniture pieces are pricey, generally because of the quality of materials
used, amount of research involved in the design, and royalties paid to the designers.
Forking over the cash for these pieces is totally worth it, you are purchasing a well thought out work of art that will last, and look sexy in your modern space, for years and years.
We would all pay the price if we could, but some of us cant, so do this:
Choose some select sexy modern classics that you love, and co-mingle them with lesser costing contemporary items.
A good rule of thumb would be 30% sexy modern classic to 70% cash friendly contemporary.
Also (forgive me Herman Miller and Knoll) dont be afraid to buy knockoffs of the classics. Owning a few modern furniture pieces whether authentic or not just proves you have style and taste.
Afterall, The Barcelona chair can help you pick up chicks! (modern fact# 81).
