We often are asked which items to save or splurge on. Not every item in your home warrants maxing out your budget – instead, feel free to save on items that are simple to replace down the line and will blend in when used in conjunction with higher quality items (décor such as table lamps, throw pillows, or mirrors are a great starting point). No matter which selections you decide are worth the investment in the short and long term, try to create balance between the high-low pieces, and strive to maintain your style. Hint – we suggest staying away from impulse buys that do not add to your overall vision, no matter how cheap that pillow at Target is!
Without further delay, scroll below to our ‘save or splurge’ finds from the Project Cali Contemporary living room! For any PHI Home items, don’t forget to use code PEGGYSAYSMIX at checkout.
The Valencia Floor Lamp from Target is a perfect budget friendly option to incorporate brass décor pieces into a contemporary space.
Contemporary Floor Lamp
The Reese lamp from Pottery Barn is a shoe-in for a unique lighting option, like the original ebony floor lamp on the left. When looking for alternative items, don’t panic over finding ‘dupes’ – identify which elements draw your attention in the original piece and find options that emulate those traits!
Organic Table Lamp
A casual-yet-sophisticated table lamp elevates any room without trying too hard. This organic table lamp is the perfect way to maintain a laid back look while playing well with more modern elements.
Ancient Bronze Finish Lamp
A bold mirror is the perfect edition to add flair in traditional or laid back spaces!
Vintage Inspired Rug
This incredible high-performance rug is actually the original used in Project Contemporary, no alternate needed! Not only is this durable rug perfect for families with pets or children, but it’s also very affordable. Scroll down in the collection to see all rug sizes available.
Genuine Leather Sofa
Mixing styles and creating depth and cohesion is all about getting creative with the textures and textiles selected. This genuine leather sofa is an affordable option that will elevate a casual space while also adding to the mix of materials #peggysaysmix.

A note about PHI Home: Some of the products linked in this post are to-the-trade pieces from our shop, PHI Home. Typically to-the-trade pieces are purchased exclusively by trade professionals (i.e. interior designers) at wholesale, and then resold to their clients at a markup. We’re delighted to extend access to our favorite trade furniture and décor to everyone, regardless of whether you’re our client or not. Should you require a different size or color variation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Prices at PHI Home are never above the internet minimum advertised price “IMAP” (set by the manufacturer) plus shipping. By using the coupon code PEGGYSAYSMIX, you can enjoy a discount off the IMAP pricing. Moreover, if you come across a lower price from another online retailer, kindly drop us an email at info@peggyhaddadinteriors.com, and we’ll gladly match that price (remember, our pricing includes threshold shipping).
When you choose to shop with us for your premium furniture and décor needs, you’re not only supporting our small business but also the entire interior design industry, rather than a large retail corporation.
