Decor Budget Splitter

Split your room makeover budget across furniture, lighting, textiles and more.

How this works

Designers spend the most on what you touch every day: in a living room roughly 45% on furniture, 15% on rug and textiles, 10% on lighting, 8% on paint, 12% on art and decor and 10% on storage. We first set aside a contingency (10% is typical) and labour if you are hiring help.
