Acquiring expensive-looking decor [1] is an art and a science. First of all, you have to be patient — Rome wasn't built in a day, and your aesthetic vision won't be either. These things take — in the words of sage philosopher Michael Bolton — time, love, and tenderness.
But piece by piece, your place will come together. With a little time and research and a lot of Amazon, you'll find the furniture [2] and decorative details to make your space sing.
Here, we're sharing our favourite furniture finds on the site — all for $250 and under — that look as if they could retail for a lot more. Scroll down and find your next home upgrade.
