Budget Decorator

Seriously stylish needn’t mean outrageously expensive – we’ve found some gorgeous products to give your home the million dollar look without the hefty price tag.

RULE BRITANNIA
‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 at the start of World War II. The poster was the third in a set of three designed to bolster the resolve of the British people but was only ever going to be used if the Nazis invaded Great Britain. It was rediscovered in 2000 and has turned up on everything from coasters to T-shirts. We love the tea towel from Lark, $25.
