When it comes to redecorating, the struggle couldn’t be more real. An area rug can cost more than two month’s rent, and the dreamy dwellings you’ve been re-pinning on the reg are more often than not the work of a professional. But with a little patience, some research and an e-savvy team of editors to lead the way, mastering an enviable abode is so easy (and better yet, beyond affordable). To prove you can channel this year’s biggest home-decor trend—mid-century modern—on a budget, here are three perfectly put-together spaces, featuring items for less than $500.
Get The Look: Mid-Century Modern
Living Room
When incorporating wood furniture into your space, make sure the materials are from the same source (example: a walnut coffee table with a walnut-accented couch) to avoid color-clashing.
Bedroom
Compliment bold color and texture with minimalist decor for a clean, modern look.
Office
In the office, accent hues should stay subdued. Keep desk essentials minimal to promote maximum productivity.
