When it comes to home decor, you may want to consider passing on pricey boutiques so you can stick to your monthly shopping budget. But that doesn't mean you can't afford life's little luxuries. At least, not if you follow our HomeGoods shopping guide.

You can still save money shopping for the season's hottest interior decor, cookware, and furniture when you shop at the discount store. We scoured the store's aisles and rounded up some amazing buys that won't stretch your budget too far this August.

Here are 15 HomeGoods finds worth tossing in your cart this month.

Price: $7.99

Plain photo frames aren't always the best value. HomeGoods recently stocked this elegantly ornate gold-toned four-by-six-inch find from iconic designer Rachel Zoe.

This antique type of design is often seen for triple the price at stores like Anthropology. But at that price, it's a no-brainer. Your home shelves will love the new addition.

Price: $7.99

Elevate your home's interior with this light, airy vase. The delicate, cracked glass design has a sophisticated style that complements contemporary, classic, farmhouse, and eclectic types of decor.

Your friends and family will think you spent serious cash on this opulent item. Don't worry — we won't spill your $7.99 secret.

Price: $9.99

It's hard to believe that this hand-painted (in Turkey) serving piece costs less than $10. But at HomeGoods, you can score the ceramic platter for $9.99. The festive fish design has a playful quality that's perfect for summertime soiree buffets.

Similar oval-shaped pieces cost almost 10 times more at specialty stores. For reference, Williams Sonoma charges $99.95 for the Sicily Ceramic Oval Platter, which is a bit larger but has the same kind of design.

Price: $12.99

Do you "need" a bacon and egg-patterned trash can? No. But at $12.99, you might as well splurge and make your home more fun this month. This adorable (and affordable) find adds a funky vibe to your kitchen, home office, or family room space.

Price: $14.99

Martha Stewart's luxe line of glassware only looks high-end. A timeless, tastefully refined quality makes this set of four seven-ounce flutes a must-have addition to your home bar. For under $15, this deal is a steal. For reference, Crate and Barrel sells four Schott Zwiesel champagne flutes for over $67.

Price: $14.99

It's that time of year again. HomeGoods already has a serious stock of autumn items. But don't wait to nab one of these pumpkin spice natural wax blend jar candles. Between the seasonal scent and the pretty painted lid, this fall find is already flying off store shelves.

Price: $14.99

Perk up your party table with this set of eight designer napkins. Don't waste money on paper products that end up in the trash. These 18-by-18-inch machine-washable 100 percent polyester cloths aren't just elegant — they're also eco-friendly. Reuse the pumpkin-patterned pick all season long.

Price: $19.99

Napkins aren't the only reusable table linens you'll find at HomeGoods. We spotted this 60-by-102-inch 100 percent cotton tablecloth. The bold floral pattern has a luxuriously chic aesthetic that's a bargain for under $20.

Price: $19.99

Spooky season is here, and designer Issac Mizrahi's home collection features this "sweet" selection. The candy corn and confection-covered 72-by-72-inch shower accent has a charmingly whimsical appeal. So if you're not into ghouls and creepy crawlies, snag this kitschy cloth curtain.

Price: $29.99

Why spend your extra cash on something basic and boring? Even though you might not need a chicken-shaped casserole dish, you'll want to score this under-$30 decor deal. The stoneware set features a sculpted lid that stands out in the best way possible.

Price: $29.99

Tired of the same plain wicker baskets? Add a chic touch to your bedroom, bathroom, or any other interior area with this stylish piece. The woven design has a beachy feel that adds serious summertime energy to your space all year round.

Price: $39.99

This sophisticated selection boasts an enduring elegance that appears to have come from a high-end boutique. But instead of breaking the bank on decor, you can snap up this handmade (in Italy) decor for less than $40. Compare HomeGoods' low price to what you could pay online for a decorative Murano glass bowl. These popular products cost upwards of $400.

Price: $159.99

Don't skimp on staple cookware pieces. This 11-piece set from one of the top kitchen brands includes everything you need to whip up gourmet meals. The premium stainless steel pots, pans, and skillets are dishwasher-safe, compatible with all soivetops, oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (lids up to 350 degrees), and feature "Cool Grip" stick handles.

You won't get a better deal online. We found the same Cuisinart collection for $249.95 on Amazon.

Price: $249.99

Accent your entryway, living room, or dining space with this mid-century modern cabinet. The polished piece has an understated retro aesthetic that is well worth the $249.99 price tag.

Even though this furniture find may seem expensive, it's a major bargain compared to what specialty stores charge. West Elm sells a similar (Marcy Buffet) wood and rattan piece for a much higher price of $1,549.

Price: $399.99

Relax in style. This classic striped armchair combines form and function. Pair this comfortable piece with a natural wood side table, a neutral sofa, or an off-white area rug to create a stylish seating area. Although this is a bigger splurge, it has an iconic look and will never go out of style. Plus, it can be a statement piece in your living room or covered patio.

The summer is almost over. But there's still time to snag a few seasonal deals at HomeGoods, and if you're looking for more ways to save on decor, small appliances, and other home finds, you can use the best cash back credit cards to earn perks or rewards on eligible purchases.

For those already prepping for the fall, we spotted plenty of autumn items that are definitely worth the splurge, so grab your favorite finds while the shelves are full of options.
