$300 Living Room
Yesterday as I was flipping through my Ikea catalog I found a page where they put together a whole living room for $300. I was impressed. $300? For a whole room? Wow! So I challenged myself to put together a living room for $300 or less and here is what I came up with…
1. Klobo loveseat $149
2. stool $30
3. 5×7 rug $39.99
4. side table $15.99
5. curtains $14.99
6. floor lamp $47
And of course you would need a curtain rod, so I threw that in too:
7. curtain rod set $1.49 (not pictured)
Grand Total: $298.46!!!
It would be a pretty basic room (which, by the way, so was Ikea’s) but hey, what can you expect for $300?! Now if I had another $100 or so I could certainly add some color and fun accents. Like pillows and decorative objects. What do you think? Could you create a living room for $300?
Hello, and welcome to my little blog! What started out as a blog to show some of my scrapbook pages ended up being a blog that shows all of my projects, ranging from scrapbooking to decorating to sewing to photography. I also run a little online shop called

Wow, pretty cool. I think I could update my living room for 300, but create a new one, not sure. Love the rug, is that ikea, it would look amazing in Beth’s black and white bedroom. I really want the stool too. SO I need to clean some stuff out of my bedroom that got shifted in there when we rearranged some other things, as soon as I do that I will shoot some pics over to you. I am excited, would like to have a cool master suite, maybe for our birthdays in June. That should give me plenty of time to work.
Any room that includes curtains and a rug is, as far as I’m concerned, beyond basic. Heck, any room that has lighting is impressive to me at this point (can you tell that I’m incredibly frustrated with my butt ugly house?). Cute challenge.
love it! great job! seriously! now I want a new living room – are you surprised? :)
Ohhhh we have that sofa from IKEA and it was $149, a steal!
