Where to Save vs. Where to Splurge 👀
Not every part of a renovation needs the highest price tag — but there are definitely a few areas where quality matters.
💰 SAVE:
• Cabinet hardware
• Lighting fixtures
You can honestly find some GREAT affordable options online now (especially on Amazon), and many look just as good as the expensive versions.
✨ SPLURGE:
• Faucets
• Shower fixtures
This is one area we don’t recommend going off-brand. Plumbing fixtures get used every single day, and cheaper ones often don’t hold up long-term. We’d rather spend a little more upfront than deal with leaks, broken parts, or hard-to-find replacement pieces later.
If you had to choose — would you rather splurge on the kitchen or the bathroom? 👇
