Effortlessly combining comfort and elegance, the casual chic decorating style describes a space that is both simple and intricately textured, offering a seamless visual experience. The casual chic room wears well and lasts for years. It endures daily use but still impresses guests.
This space expertly blends high-end and budget-friendly items, ensuring a cohesive design without compromising on style. Many believe that a beautiful space necessitates a hefty budget but crafting a well-designed room doesn’t have to put you in the poorhouse.
The priciest component of this design is the sofa, and it’s true; it’s a substantial investment. Yet, it serves as the backbone of the room. In most households, the sofa is the epicenter of comfort and social gatherings and gets a lot of wear and tear so buy the best quality sofa you can afford. For those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative to the one in this design, I’ve found a more reasonable dupe here.
If I were curating this space for a client without young children or pets, the next high-cost consideration would usually be the rug. However, with pets in the mix, I often opt for an inexpensive yet aesthetically pleasing rug. For me, the essence of the casual chic style lies in strategic spending and saving, focusing on areas that align with your lifestyle choices.
Lastly, let’s talk about throw pillows. There are plenty of inexpensive resources, with stores like Homegoods and Wayfair offering great selections. I highly recommend investing in throw pillows with zippers, allowing easy removal for laundering. Being able to hand wash or dry clean pillow covers ensures their longevity, and you can adjust the filling for a plusher or firmer feel, tailored to your preference. This thoughtful approach to design embodies the essence of the Casual Chic Style—elegant, practical, and tailored to your life.
