How To: Spot A Good Dupe

Anyone familiar with the phrase “champagne taste on a beer budget” knows how hard it can be to design your dream home with, er, less than infinite funds.You mean I need to fill EVERY room?! With furniture?!

Before you pull a bank job*, why not instead partake in the time-honored sport of shopping for high-end designer dupes! Yes, that’s right — you can fill every room with beautiful, high-quality furniture — if you know where to look!

Dupe your dream sofa

Maybe you can’t stop thinking about that swanky hotel lobby sofa you sat on 10 years ago. Maybe you’re looking for a spectacular centerpiece for hosting parties. Maybe you know that you spend most of your weekends on the sofa and want a stylish, comfy place to camp out — no matter the reason, there’s one sure thing: you don’t need to spend a fortune to find a great sofa. Behold Exhibit A, my Dream sectional:  it’s oh-so-soft and comfortable, thanks to Bob-O-Pedic® technology, completely customizable thanks to its modular pieces, and oh yeah — thousands of dollars less than similar-looking luxury styles, thanks to my everyday low prices!

And if you’re on a modular kick (after all, why not leave yourself the option to rearrange when the mood strikes!) — I’ve got tons of other fabulous, functional, and most importantly, affordable modular styles like the Modular Bob™ 3 piece sectional,  6 piece sectional (with console storage!) or the 6 piece sectional with a storage ottoman, just to name a few!

Mid-century dupes

Love that charming, mid-century designer look — but not those less-than-charming designer prices? Look no further than my Bettie collection, with plenty of trendy, mid-century living room, dining, and bedroom styles that don’t cost more than your mortgage. Stretch out in style with my Bettie sofa or chofa (available in four fun colors!) or my loveseat and chair (perfect for styling small spaces!). Don’t forget to finish the look with a chic lift top coffee table and a classy TV stand (perfect for watching those Mad Men reruns!).

Dining in? Elevate your takeout routine or throw a swanky dinner party (with plenty of budget left for cocktails!) with my guest-friendly Bettie dining you can mix and match your favorite colors!

And when the party’s over, wind down for the day and get a restful night’s sleep in your gorgeous Bettie bedroom set (also available in upholstered options!) or stay up late penning the next great American novel at my writing desk (it only looks expensive!).

Farmhouse dupes

Been dreaming of leaving it all behind and moving to that whimsical English cottage in the countryside? Sounds expensive!! Why not save for a vacation instead and create your own budget-friendly staycation with my farmhouse chic Scarlett bedroom collection. Whether you’re getting ready at my stunning vanity, organizing your next stylish fit in my luxury wardrobe or slumbering in my stylish bedroom set, you’ll feel like you’ve gone on a luxury getaway without ever leaving home.
