“Splurge and Save” may sound like an oxymoron, but to interior designer and TV personality Krista Watterworth, it just makes sense — dollars and sense.
“Splurge and Save” is her upcoming HGTV show, and in it, Watterworth takes one great item, which is usually the “splurge,” and designs a room around it using inexpensive items for the balance of the decor.
The splurge can be a chandelier in a dining room, a sofa in a living room, or a glamorous leather headboard in a bedroom.
“The concept is to create a space from one piece and make the rest of the room look worthy of that piece,” says Watterworth, who grew up in Southbury.
In a living room with an expensive new sofa, for example, Watterworth would make use of some of the client’s existing furniture. That’s the “save.”
