Under $100

A hundred dollars is the sweet spot for most of the things that make a house feel lived in. It will not buy you a sofa, but it will buy the vase, the clock and the good book that make the sofa look like part of a room.

The range is wide. There are Karlsson wall and alarm clocks, Potted planters and vases, Zakkia concrete and terrazzo trays, faux stems and foliage from Artificial Flora, interiors books and cookbooks, Umbra hooks and storage, Write To Me journals and Lily & George soft toys. It is also where most of our gifting lives.

Spend the budget on one good piece rather than three filler ones, then use what is left to finish the corner: a stem for the vase or a candle for the tray. For gifts, see gift ideas under $100.

What can I buy under $100 to update a room?
Pick one piece with presence: a Karlsson wall clock, a sculptural vase with a faux stem, a Potted planter or an Umbra hook rack. One well-chosen object changes a room more than several small ones spread across every surface.

Do you have gift ideas under $100?
Plenty. Books, journals from Write To Me, soft toys from Lily & George, alarm clocks from Karlsson and faux stems all sit in this range. If you are stuck, a Flux Boutique gift voucher can be redeemed in store or online and has no expiry.

Why are some items marked online only?
Items marked online only are brought in to order rather than kept on the shelf, so please allow up to 10 working days for delivery. Everything else ships NZ wide from our Mount Maunganui store.

How do I make an affordable room look expensive?
Limit the palette, repeat materials and choose fewer, larger pieces. Group decor in odd numbers on a tray, add one stem with height, and keep surfaces clear enough that each object has space around it.
