    The Best Inexpensive Sofas, Media Consoles, & Coffee Tables

    A few weeks back a good friend who’s moving into a new apartment asked for my help sourcing some inexpensive furniture. She has a style similar to mine so there were already several pieces I had in mind while others I had to do some searching around for. I decided to put my living room choices (I’m still working on the bedroom ones!) together in a post to share with you and also to get your input about whether you have inexpensive pieces you love and think should be added to the list of possibilities. Here’s what I’ve got so far (post includes some affiliate links – see my full disclosure statement {here})

    The best inexpensive, sofas, media consoles, and coffee tables!

    1     |     2 (no longer available)     |     3 (similar)     |     4 (no longer available)     |     5     |     6 (no longer available)     |     7     |     8     |     9     |     10     |     11 (no longer available)

    and here’s the more detailed scoop:

    Best Inexpensive Sofas

    Sofa #1 is the IKEA EKTORP (now called the UPPLAND) which is what we have in our living room – it’s truly the best bang for the buck around! We’ve had ours for over three years now and it’s held up beautifully:

    IKEA EKTORP white slipcovered sofa

    We went with the white slipcovers which surprises some people considering that we have kids and a dog but whenever there’s a spill or stain or they just get dingy, I simply take off the slipcovers and throw them in the wash. The only negative thing I have to say about the EKTORP is that the slipcovers shrunk a bit after their first washing (even though I took them out of the dryer when they were damp dry) but IKEA switched to new slipcovers since we bought ours so it’s possible that the new ones are different.

    We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

    Best Inexpensive Coffee Tables

    Just like with media consoles, if you’re going cheap I think it’s best to stick with simple. Brass or black metal with glass (console #8 (available {here}) and console #9 (available {here}) is always a winner. Console #10 (available {here}) is the budget buy of the group.

    That’s what I’ve got for living room furniture – I’m tackling bedroom furniture next! I would LOVE to hear from you about inexpensive furniture pieces that you own and love – please dish it!

    I hope that you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

    XO,
