High/Low Interior Design
Have you heard of high/low interior design? It simply means splurging on high end items and then purchasing low end or budget friendly items.In order to stay within a specific budget a designer may select a very expensive custom piece of art and then work with the client's gently used dining chairs by reupholstering them. The end result is unique and within budget.For a high/low dining room I might start with the light fixture. In the dining room the light fixture should make a statement! It is after all, right above your head when sitting and at about eye level when standing. I recommend splurging on a beautiful chandelier like this Sebastian chandelier from Currey and Company which retails for about $2,750.
Then add a low end dining table in a dark finish from Pier 1 for about $580.
Throw in four upholstered dining chairs from Bassett for $649 each. This would be a mid-low item.
And then add a patterned rug from Target by Safavieh for $790. Wow, it's stylish and budget friendly!
You will also need some pretty white vases from Pottery Barn for the dining table.
Last but not least, a beautiful piece of art for $1,549 from Carol Benson Cobb!
For a total of $8,383 you have a beautiful dining room!Until next time,Holly
