Welcome back my decorating series
Get the Modern Classic Look for Less!
My favorite home decorating style is a mix of contemporary modern and classic traditional. I think the two styles pair so well together and create a fresh, and casual atmosphere in a home. Whenever I’m browsing through Pinterest, “Modern Classic” is a style that I see all throughout designer homes. I love the look, but I don’t love the price!
I’m a big believer that you can have a stylish home on a regular budget. There’s no reason that you need to spend $90 on a pillow cover (for example) in order to have a beautiful home. That’s just crazy! So, I decided it was time to start figuring out how I could get that modern classic look for less.
Today I’m sharing my favorite knick-knack collected styling accessories.
In order to make a room look lived in and put together, you need to style it a little. Adding accessories to a space in a purposeful way makes a room feel thought out and pulled together.
Styling accessories can be used in just about every room to add some character and charm. Accessories that have a “collected” feel to them work the best.
Your accessories shouldn’t all match, they should look like they were collected and curated over time. You want to get that look of items that are different, but still all work together in a cohesive way.
Knick-knacks are great filler pieces to add to your groupings of decor. If you think your shelf is missing that one final piece, maybe you need to add a knick-knack. Here are some of my favorites!

I love this modern, fresh sailboat made from metal and wood. It’s a unique piece that is neutral enough to fit in with most decor. It would also look amazing on a bookshelf where you need a tall knick-knack to fill the space.
