I have a designer taste on a discount budget – here are the 12 best rugs, mirrors, and lights I'm shopping in the sales to finish my home

As a fan of the loud luxury trend, I was surprised by how much I love this neutral rug from the Chris Loves Julia x Loloi collab. But thanks to its easygoing yet elevated style, it's a timeless piece that will still feel like an investment for years to come and can be worked into any interior design style.

Spotting that the Threshold designed with Studio McGee collection at Target had finally kicked off some Memorial Day sales with up to 40% off has made my weekend. I've had my eye on this softly curved mirror for a while to brighten up my entryway.

Designed by Kelly Clarkson, no less, this pendant was created to be the perfect kitchen island lighting idea – and I think she's nailed it. It oozes farmhouse style but remains sleek and modern thanks to the black metal and fresh white shades.

Floor lamps can often come with quite a hefty price tag, but not if you shop wisely. This elegantly arched floor lamp from Walmart caught my eye because of its wam, rattan shade, and sleek gold finish, but it was the $130 saving that had me heading to checkout.

Anthropologie is a great destination for home decor, but it isn't equally the most budget-friendly. Luckily, they currently have up to 30% off in the holiday weekend sale, which means beautifully unique pieces like this hand-tufted, garden-inspired rug are just a touch more affordable.

If you're looking for some coastal decor ideas that go beyond the norm (or the kitsch), this lamp from Pottery Barn is top of my list. I love the subtle nautical theme with the knotted manila rope and tapered shade – this is how to properly decorate a beach house for the modern decorator.

You might have noticed that the burl wood trend is ramping up this year, with everyone from high-end designers to budget retailers buying into this retro, statement finish. I love the dramatic knots on this mirror from Walmart.

My mission has been hunting down a vintage-inspired flatweave rug for my dining room. I'm particularly drawn to the Scandi style of this pistachio green rug from Joss & Main – it looks good enough to eat, and the pile isn't too thick to be a nuisance when pulling out chairs at the table.

One of my biggest bedroom lighting mistakes in my renovation was forgetting to add some wiring in for little reading lights by the bedside. Now I've had that rectified with new electrics, I'm picking up these wiggly and wavy brass sconces to add a luxe feel to my bedtime routine.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Serena & Lily Memorial Day sale also includes their new-in pieces, like this blossoming rug. I love that it feels both neutral and grounding yet decorative with that handwoven, contrasting floral border.

With 55% off, this beaded chandelier is a bit of a steal from the Wayfair sale. Typically, unique and large lighting like this is usually around double, if not triple, the price – particularly as it has six candle-style lights to beautifully illuminate your space.

While this isn't the biggest mirror around, the stylish silhouette of this braided rattan is full of charm. I'd love to see it hung about the sink in a powder room or worked into a gallery wall. Perfect for the scalloped decor trend.
