Get The Look for Less – 14 Pieces Under $250, All On Sale This Weekend

So we’ve likely been living under a rock but until this year we didn’t really know about Wayfair’s Way Day. It’s basically their Black Friday so there are tons of really good deals. We were able to preview a bunch of those deals and realized that there were a lot of items that looked like affordable options of pieces we’ve used in our designs. So today we decided to not only help you sort through the site but also to give you a good ole fashion “look for less” post. This is not sponsored FYI. Just a little sale service if you will. Let’s jump right on in.

Oversized Arched Wood Full Length Mirror

We all love this Rejuvenation floor-length mirror so so much and have used it in many projects. I’ve seen it in person and it’s truly awesome. But just because something is awesome doesn’t mean it fits within a budget. That’s why when I saw this big beauty for only $250 I was very impressed. It’s the same height, though a little thinner, but a great affordable option. It also comes in gold!

Walsh Velvet Side Chair (Set of 2)

As with everything, if you can afford the original, especially when it comes to vintage, please buy the original! However, if you can’t and you love the look of say, these Cesca dining chairs, then the affordable version is a nice option. The seats come in a few different colors but I personally love that green:)

Handmade Glass Table Vase

If you can’t tell we LOVE this style of glass vase. It’s the perfect way to add a hint of color with a bold shape. I love my amber-toned one from West Elm and how pretty is that blue one on Em’s dining table? But the softness of the beige glass from Wayfair is so pretty and neutral, making it the perfect option for your home or a great gift.

Mid-Century Metal Dining Chair Weave Seat (Set of 2)

The wishbone chair has seen so many iterations and knockoffs. The shape and silhouette are just so pretty. The chairs that were in the Portland Project dining room are stunners from Room & Board and carry an understandably hefty price tag per chair. But if you can’t swing those then check out these similar dining chairs that cost about $100 per chair. Same vibe, a much lower price point.

Otley Accent Cabinet

Dee Murphy’s built-ins are pretty iconic, are they not?? So while a standing cabinet isn’t the same thing, this pretty one from Wayfair totally captures the energy with those simple lines and brass hardware. Add in your favorite styling pieces and you’re ready to go!

Steel Adjustable Single Curtain Rod

I am such a fan of French curtain rods. Emily had them at her old LA home, I had them in my last living room and they are just inherently elegant. So these ones from Wayfair are really affordable and come in a ton of other metal options.

Handmade Pot Planter

Footed planters are so versatile which is why we have used them in countless projects (including all of Emily’s homes). They can really range in price from very expensive to budget-friendly and this is a great budget-friendly option that also comes in a couple of other wood tones. You can’t go wrong here!

Distressed Table Lamp

A ceramic textured lamp is one of those staple pieces. It’s, of course, functional but it adds that neutral texture most rooms are yearning for. We use them all of the time. So when I saw this lamp I was immediately in love with the clean pattern and modern brass finial. And with the cream shade, it’s going to give off the softest, prettiest light.

Steel Tray Top End Table

Another staple! The black metal side table. This $48 one is so cute. It’s just another wildly versatile piece that you’ll be able to use forever in different rooms.

Metal Arched Bathroom/Vanity Mirrors (Set of 2)

Ok, so no, these aren’t medicine cabinets like Emily’s custom ones (that she frequently jokes she could now but readymade given that they are finally on the market) but these are awesome arched mirrors for under $200 for two. Not too bad, right!? They also come in black and silver:)

3 Drawer Sideboard With Fluted Glass Doors

We love a pill shape, and this sideboard is very much in the same world as Sara’s old bar cabinet. For under $250, you get cute fluted glass doors, 3 drawers, and a total statement piece. You could use this in your dining room or living room. Dealer’s choice! You’ll be set either way.

Handmade Pot Planter

Readers always ask where Emily gets her tall outdoor pots. She usually finds them at local nurseries which helps very few of us:) So when I saw this tall guy, I thought “Perfect, this is really similar to Em’s”! It’s under $45 and comes in three darker colors if white isn’t your thing.

Console Table

I know that a ton of you guys have issues with your entryways and a console table is a great solution. It’s simple, adds function, and you can throw some baskets underneath for things like shoes. I loved this one because it’s solid wood so is sturdy, has a natural texture but looks modern. A great Wayfair find! (and sorry, this one is technically $260).

Upholstered Lounge Chair

If you’re asking yourself, “Isn’t that the Target chair Em has?” Well, it is practically the same one and Em has always been a huge fan of it. But during Way Day sale, this one is $50 cheaper and comes in other colorways. I say win-win! The more affordable options the better”

Hope this was helpful and fun! If you are in need of any furniture then checking out this sale is definitely worth your time.

Love you, mean it.

These are great. Didn’t even know of French curtain rod style-jeez . Love that, mirrors, and metal table. But can’t do a cheap sideboard. Prefer used and heavy duty on my small budget. Thanks Jess.

For the planters did you mean the 14″ high? (All the others are much more $$ than $45…) But the French curtain rods…WOW
