Chenoa’s Favorite Finds: Save vs. Splurge: Living Room Looks I Love

Hi, I’m Chenoa Osweiler, an interior designer and founder of White Dove Design Studio.

I believe your home should reflect who you are, support how you live, and evolve with you. Here, you’ll find thoughtful design guidance and inspiration to create a home that feels uniquely yours.

This post is all about save vs. splurge: living room looks I love.

Designing your dream home isn’t always about spending more; it’s about spending intentionally.

Whether you love the thrill of a high-end find or the satisfaction of discovering a lookalike for less, every choice you make tells part of your design story.

In this “Save vs. Splurge,” I’m sharing two living room looks that prove style doesn’t have to come with a specific price tag. One with budget-friendly finds, and another with higher-end pieces that share the same elevated and timeless vibe.

You’ll see how both spaces capture the same elevated feel, just at different price points.

I’ve linked everything from both versions below so you can shop each piece and see how small swaps make a big difference. Happy shopping!

Did you see that there’s a $6,706.51 difference (before tax and shipping) between the looks?! Crazy!

At the end of the day, great design isn’t defined by how much you spend; it’s about how your home feels. Whether you decide to save, splurge, or mix the two, what matters most is creating a space that feels effortless, intentional, and uniquely yours.

I can’t wait to hear which one’s your favorite!
