Expensive Furniture for Less
Expensive Furniture for Less
Written By: Rasy Sor
Have you heard of the phrase, “champagne taste on a beer budget?” I have and unfortunately, I too, am afflicted with this. I definitely have champagne test on a beer budget when it comes to interior design.
One of my favorite furniture shops is Room and Board. I usually go there for design inspiration since I’m unable to afford most of their furniture. Then, I discovered that Ikea had very similar styles for a lot less! I know. I know. Most of you are thinking, Ikea is the last place you’d shop when it comes to your home; especially when you use to shop there to furnish the apartment that you shared with 5 roommates because let’s face it, ANYTHING goes with your 3rd roommate’s bean bag. Ikea, in my opinion, has definitely come a long way.
Here is some furniture that I love at Room and Board that I also found at Ikea, but for A LOT less!
Portica Dining Table at Room and Board $1,209
Porsby Dining Table at Ikea $219 (Savings $990)
Bella Table Lamp at Room and Board $299
