Home buys that will transform a room

Needless to say, outfitting a home is expensive. Whether you’re starting from scratch, moving into your own space, or giving a tired room a much-needed update, injecting your home with your personal style takes time and money. With that being said, there are a few shortcuts you can take when revamping a room. If your interior budget only allows for one purchase at a time, these are the home buys to focus on that will truly transform your space.

A bold, eye-catching lamp can take a room from zero to “wow” in a blink of an eye. Whether it’s a statement piece for your nightstand, office, or on a buffet table as seen here, these are some of our favourites.

Which leads us to our next point: the buffet cabinet. Forgo the cheap mass-made knockoffs and invest in a quality, almost-art buffet cabinet to liven up a room. Style with coffee table books, vases, and candles to make your guests go “wow!”

As seen in this gorgeous magenta and teal kitchen, an unexpected pop of colour, the teal bar chairs, in this case, can break up a room and create visual depth. Replicate the look seen here with these equally as eye-catching chairs.

Whether you opt for bookcases, armoires, or larger-than-life shelving, all of these items serve the same purpose: they create a focal point in a room. We can’t get enough of this antique-looking black armoire for an elegant yet bold interior statement piece. Plus, if you happen to live in a white brick loft, well, that doesn’t hurt either.
