INTERIOR DESIGN BUDGET: WHERE TO SPEND AND WHERE TO SAVE
فين تصرف وفين توفّر
QUICK ANSWER
Spend on the mattress, the sofa, built-in joinery and anything inside the wall. Save on cushions, lamps, accessories and prints. Keep 10–15% unspent until the last week.
SPEND WHERE REPLACEMENT HURTS
The rule is simple: pay for what you touch daily, sleep on, or would have to demolish to change. Plumbing and electrical routes, joinery, seating frames and mattresses all get more expensive the second time around.
SAVE WHERE CHANGE IS EASY
Cushions, lamps, accessories and printed art are also exactly the pieces that let you refresh a room each year without a new project. Paint remains the strongest cheap tool you have — one new colour on one wall costs less than any piece of furniture. And every project meets one surprise; the ones that end badly are the ones with nothing left to meet it with.
