Photo: Courtesy retailer As an architect, I have the great fortune of working on high-profile projects with custom furniture and luxurious materials. I don’t have that same luxury when it comes to my own home, so I’ve gotten creative about finding more affordable pieces that allow me to incorporate of-the-moment design trends, like curved forms, offbeat colors, and rich textures, on a more, shall we say, modest budget.
$146 at Amazon Buy $146 at Amazon Buy Project 62 Quilted Velvet Oversize Lumbar Throw Pillow $20 Arcs, arches, and the aforementioned lozenges are ubiquitous in interior design right now. There’s still a lot of life left in this trend, as the look only recently found its way to mass market retailers like Target. On a recent hospitality project, we mixed these pillows in with custom ones from Zak & Fox and Maharam, and they looked right at home.
$85 at Target Buy Scandinavian Designs Raholt Bench For a recent project, we worked with weavers in Denmark for six months to create custom pieces, but this much more affordable version is honestly 90 percent as great at a tenth of the cost. While it’s certainly on-trend, it’s also a piece you’ll want to keep for a very long time. At work, we often pair these with a long dining table or place them at the foot of a bed.
$228 at Anthropologie Buy Project 62 Hexagon Terracotta Stoneware Planter This affordable yet elegant planter elevates any old Ikea snake plant. When we’re starting on a project, the first thing we do is bring in as many plants as we can. They add life to shelves, fill odd corners, and produce a biophilic human response of calm and focus. This planter has made an appearance in many recent projects alongside woven baskets, bubbled glass, and other textured vessels.
