If "decorate" really means "furnish," I second the used office furniture suggestion. Large offices redecorate all the time, and they often have NO idea what they have when they get rid of their old furniture. My brother redecorated his apartment on a shoestring a few years ago, and he spent a lot of time pouring through used office furniture warehouses and found goldmines. Beautiful designer chairs that are still in production for a fraction of their cost. Desks and credenzas that are beautifully finished (and heavy as shit, I'm never helping my brother move again). There is no reason in the world that anyone in California should pay full price for an Aeron chair (str8 should probably look for an extra large one, since he's tall).
If "decorate" means "adorn," benefit auctions, in my experience, have been the best places to pick up nice artwork for a reasonable price.

I'll miss my chair. *sniff*
