Decor Thoughts: Style at Home High Low Decorating ideas – Creating glamorous home looks for less

January 18, 2012
The High / Low section of Style at Home is pure, inspired genius for decor and design lovers.  Their creative team styles two, almost identical rooms for a situation or place in your home – a wine and cheese party, lounge, living area etc.  The crucial difference is that one of the rooms costs thousands of dollars less to style!  I find quality decor a bit expensive, but love the inspiration here.The lower cost items came from an array of familiar mass retailers (Pottery Barn, IKEA, Homesense, Pier 1) as well as specialists that were lower cost (e.g. chairtablelamp.blogspot.com).  I love the ideas and the message that great decor may be available at a much more affordable price elsewhere!

Here are some favorites:
Boudoir High – $10,101

Boudoir Low – $4,194

Vignette- $3,457

Vignette – $1,899

Dressing Room – $9,070

Dressing Room – $3,116

little luxury list

  • MizzJ January 18, 2012 at 08:14

    This is amazing!! Makes me wonder why anyone would opt for the pricier version when the budget one is so nice!

    Amazing! I like some of the less expensive re-dos more than the originals. And the pink is gorgeous!

  • rolala January 18, 2012 at 15:05

    That pink room is amazing! I love the idea that great style can be had at any price point!

  • Jessica January 18, 2012 at 15:05

    They look almost exact! I had to keep scrolling up and down to see the difference! LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors and decor! http://www.fashionatabargain.blogspot.com/

    Is it bad that both spaces gave me sticker shock? Lol. I think these lovely rooms can be created for even less! The first room is certainly my favorite, I’ve got a thing for PINK! 🙂

  • {The Perfect Palette} January 18, 2012 at 16:16

    You know I’m a sucker for bright bold color! Gorgeous.

  • Heather January 18, 2012 at 17:58

    Wow, these are great! It just goes to show that you can often get identical results for a less expensive price.

  • Camille January 18, 2012 at 18:26

    that’s so creative! the spaces look pratically the same and are much cheaper! love this!

  • Couture Carrie January 18, 2012 at 18:36

    Amazing spaces!
    Love the dressing room!

    Gorgeous post, darling 🙂

    I would LOVE to redecorate my room in a bright color. It would really add some fun to the atmosphere.

    Love that first room!

  • Katherine January 18, 2012 at 20:44

    Wow some of these rooms looked identical to me at first glance – I think they do a great job with this feature. Even though some of the low prices are still high to me – lol!

  • Alena: Oh, It's Just Perfect! January 18, 2012 at 21:16

    Wow. You can barely tell the rooms apart, but the price difference – insane!! Love seeing this.

  • FRANKIE HEARTS FASHION January 18, 2012 at 22:26

    i love this series of high and low! I ended up like the low ones more actually! The first set is stunning! xo

  • Oh to Be a Muse January 19, 2012 at 01:57

    the lower cost items look just as good, and in some cases even better, than the higher costs settings. lovely post!

  • LyddieGal January 19, 2012 at 03:20

    wow, i love these comparisons – they did such a great job!

    I am SO bad about decor once it’s in my place I don’t move anything and I don’t change anything around. Although recently the pull on my honeycomb shades went out…the thread totally thinned out and broke. I am in fear of finding out what a new set will cost, it came w/my condo. ahhh.

    Beautiful rooms, wish I knew where to find that small horse picture in the first shot, I love it!

    When the time comes to move to another apartment in NYC, I swear I will be decorating our new place with colors and patterns. Right now we are subletting and we can’t but ahhh!! once we get our new place get ready!! 🙂

    Very interesting splurge vs steal on interior decorating. This goes on to show that our homes can look just as good without having to spend a ton of money.
