Why Quality Over Quantity Matters in Home Décor

Why Quality Over Quantity Matters in Home Décor

Interiors trends move quickly – but you don’t have to chase every passing fad to create your dream living space. In fact, choosing quality home décor over short-term trends is a smart and stylish strategy. Here, we’ll look at the benefits of buying quality over cheap décor and share our tips for choosing well-made décor accessories that will stand the test of time.

Long-lasting Décor Pieces vs Trendy Buys

If you’re embarking on a major redecoration project, you might well be asking yourself: “Should I invest in fewer premium home accessories?” Let’s break down the reasons to choose quality over quantity:

Better Value

Trend-led accessories might look good in the short term but if they don’t deliver lasting performance then they’ll prove more expensive over time. Hallway runner rugs, for example, are subject to heavy footfall so it pays to opt for a durable rug in the best quality you can afford. 

Functionality

High-quality pieces don’t just look better; they work better too. For example, premium ceramic stools are sturdy enough for daily use and can double as side tables too, while well-made canister jars will seal tightly to keep the contents fresh and free from dust.

Sustainability

Enduring trends such as biophilic design put the environment at the heart of the modern home. By investing in durable pieces instead of continually replacing cheap impulse buys, you can reduce waste and lower your environmental footprint.

How to Choose Durable Designer Accessories

Ready to invest in high-quality home accessories? Here’s how to source the best for your living space.

• Choose a reputable retailer – When you shop with a trusted luxury retailer such as Knot Home, you can expect quality design with exceptional service to match. Read customer reviews to find the best quality home décor brands.

• Look for quality materials – Whether you’re shopping for carpets online or seeking out statement candle holders, consider the materials. Wool carpets, cotton cushions and wood or marble sculptures will all maintain their good looks for years to come: here’s what to expect from our marble, ceramic and glass finishes.

• Prioritise timeless design – Cheap, trend-led décor dates quickly but a considered purchase that truly reflects your personality and aesthetic will always earn its place in your interior.
