Worth the Splurge: 4 Things We Recommend Splurging on When Designing

Let’s talk about one of the biggest decisions in interior design: when to splurge and when to save. It can be tough to know where to put your money, especially when you're trying to create a beautiful home on a budget (looking at you, inflation). But not to worry, Micah & Co. has you covered! Below you will find the top 4 things we believe are the best areas to splurge on when designing your home.

Helm Farm House

First up, the couch. This is one of the most important and lived-on pieces of furniture in your home, so it's worth investing in something that you love and that will last. Look for high-quality materials, sturdy construction, and a timeless design that you won't get sick of in a few years.

The next place we recommend a splurge is the lighting in your home’s main areas. Lighting can make or break a room, and a beautiful fixture can really elevate the space. Consider investing in a statement chandelier or pendant for your living room, dining room, or entryway.

The Novara Project

Moving on to bedding, we think it's worth splurging on high-quality sheets and duvet covers. You spend a third of your life in bed, so it's worth making that time as comfortable and luxurious as possible. Look for natural fibers like linen or cotton, and invest in a duvet cover that you really love.

Finally, pillows (and inserts!!). We can't stress enough how important it is to invest in good quality pillows and pillow inserts. No matter how beautiful the cover is, a lumpy, saggy pillow will ruin the look of your space. Look for inserts made of down or down alternative, and consider splurging on a few statement pillows to add a pop of color or texture to your space.


The Preakness Project

Remember, when it comes to interior design, there are no hard and fast rules. The most important thing is to create a space that YOU love and that feels true to your personal style. Whether you decide to splurge or save on certain items, make sure you're investing in pieces that will bring you joy for years to come.
