Putting together a well curated, enviable room is no easy feat. The options are infinite, but unlike your outfits, which can vary depending on your mood and occasion, your home goods are on a less frequent rotation. So where does one begin with the design process, whether the aim is to simply spruce up your space or do a complete overhaul? 

Enter Decorist.com, the site where customers can get a professional interior designer to draw up a floor plan and shoppable mood board, all based on their budget. Even better, Decorist has a team of A-list decorators on board, and today they launch a partnership with one of our favorites, Celerie Kemble.  Known for her vivid, sometimes quirky, and always drop-dead gorgeous rooms, Kemble runs Kemble Interiors with her talented mother, Mimi McMakin,​ out of their offices in Palm Beach, Fla., and N.Y.C. 

In the spirit of affordable design, Kemble put together a list of 10 things every house needs, all under $100. Click through the gallery to check out her faves.
