Splurge or Save: A Living Room Makeover Guide from Ideal Home

Ideal Home's Content Editor Sara offers practical advice on furnishing a living room. She suggests splurging on a high-quality sofa, stating, "It is going to be the biggest piece of furniture and it is also one that is an investment piece, so you might as well make sure it's going to last a long time." Conversely, she recommends saving on lighting, highlighting the availability of "lovely lamps" from high street brands. Rugs are presented as a more flexible category, with the washable Ruggable rugs presented as a good-quality splurge. Coffee tables, she advises, are worth the splurge for better materials, while cushions and throws can be a cost-effective way to update the look. The video's practical advice and specific brand examples make it highly useful for a home decor article.
