Let’s dive into the pieces that made us swoon — and the versions that will make your space shine just as bright.

The Bedroom Sconces That Sparked It All

We started with the lighting — because nothing sets the tone like a well-placed sconce. For the master bedroom, we knew we wanted something timeless, warm, and with that little bit of glow-up glam. Naturally, we gravitated toward brass — our forever favorite.

We chose the Harlin Sconces in Brass and Clear Glass from Arhaus, and they were worth every penny. The finish is elegant, the light is soft, and they immediately elevated the entire room.

A Stunning Alternative — Without the Splurge

We also wanted to prove something important: a tighter budget doesn’t mean compromising on design. So, alongside the Arhaus sconces, we purchased and installed a more affordable alternative to demonstrate how seamlessly a lower-cost option can still deliver on style.

These brass and glass sconces from Amazon came in at just $50 each — and honestly, they held their own beautifully. The profile, finish, and glow still carried the same visual weight and charm. For viewers paying close attention, the flow of the design didn’t skip a beat.

If you’re curating your home on a budget, this is proof that smart, intentional choices can go just as far as splurges — and still look incredible doing it.

The Centerpiece: Our Master Bedroom Chandelier

Let’s talk drama — the good kind. The kind that hangs beautifully over your bed and makes the entire room feel curated, finished, and just a bit luxurious.

We chose the Lions Large Candelabra Chandelier from Crate & Barrel, and it made a stunning impact. It’s grand without being overwhelming, modern yet timeless, and filled the space with just the right touch of sophistication.

🛒 Liona Large Candelabra Chandelier – Crate & Barrel Price: $1,000

This piece anchored the entire room. It was a bold choice, but one we have zero regrets about — it brought the height, shape, and statement the space needed.

A Brilliant Look for Less

Still, we wanted to offer a more budget-friendly option without sacrificing aesthetic. So we sourced a beautiful alternative chandelier on Amazon that offers a nearly identical silhouette and finish — for half the price.

The Amazon version is incredibly close in both scale and feel, and when installed, it delivers the same eye-catching presence without the $1K price tag. For those balancing beauty with budget, this is a steal.

The Statement Mirror — Elegant, Grounded, and Cat-Proof

Every room needs a grounding piece — something that reflects light, space, and style. For us, it was the Amelie Floor Mirror from Arhaus. It’s tall, arched, and beautifully antique-inspired without feeling heavy. We chose to have it professionally mounted, and honestly, if you have pets (or gravity), it’s a decision we highly recommend.

🛒 Amelie Floor Mirror – Arhaus Price: $1,580. Professionally mounted for safety — and peace of mind (especially with four curious cats)

This mirror made the entire room feel taller, lighter, and more finished. It’s one of those pieces that doesn’t shout, but somehow says everything.

A Reflective Alternative That Still Shines

If the Arhaus price tag isn’t quite in range, don’t worry — we found an Amazon alternative that captures the same scale and style for a significantly lower price.

Same beautiful curve. Same impact. Just a friendlier price point. Once mounted, this alternative delivers all the reflection and elegance — without the stress on your wallet.

The Bed That Anchors It All

No bedroom is complete without a bed that makes a statement — and for us, that statement came through the Arden Upholstered King Bed from Crate & Barrel. It’s clean, soft, and effortlessly elegant. With its low profile and subtly curved silhouette, it doesn’t shout for attention, but it owns the room.

We chose this piece because of its craftsmanship, texture, and timeless appeal. It feels every bit as luxurious as it looks — and as the centerpiece of the master bedroom, it gave us the elevated foundation we were looking for.

🛒 Arden King Bed – Crate & Barrel Price: $3,000

It’s a piece you walk past and have to touch. Velvet-soft and sculptural, it brought balance and serenity to the space.

A Budget-Friendly Lookalike That Still Delivers Elegance

If the Arden is a stretch for your budget, don’t worry — we found a gorgeous upholstered king bed on Amazon that echoes the same shape and feel for a fraction of the price.

🛒 Amazon Upholstered Bed – Arden-Inspired (Link coming soon) Price: $450

Soft-touch fabric, square frame, and understated elegance — this alternative brings that same quiet sophistication without the high-end price tag. Pair it with warm lighting and layered textures, and the look is just as elevated.
