After living with roommates for the past five years, I finally signed a lease on my very own apartment. And while I couldn’t be more excited about the move, turning my rental into a home is a lot pricier than I expected—especially without another person to help split the costs. crafts for kids
Instead of draining my savings for expensive pieces I’d be sick of in two years, I scoured Target’s site for budget-friendly furniture and decor that don’t skimp on quality. I’ve got my eyes on this freestanding arched mirror that shoppers say they “would have paid more for,” this statement-making, five-star faux shearling swivel chair, and many more items. Whether you’re furnishing an entire apartment or looking to refresh your small space, shop my favorite stylish, affordable home finds at Target. And thanks to its early Black Friday deals, many of them are on sale.
I love the idea of a glass table for smaller spaces because the material works as an optical illusion and can make any room appear larger than it is. Since we’re talking about New York City square footage here, that’s an obvious pro. The five-star Costway Tempered Glass End Table shoppers called “very beautiful” and a “nice addition” to their living room achieves all of the above with a can’t-miss price tag at 60 percent off.
My last apartment living room was so small that a coffee table was out of the question, but luckily my new space has the square footage for one. I’m a huge fan of Threshold’s Belmar Woven Drawer Coffee Table, and not only because of its cozy natural wood shade—but yes, that too. Customers praised the “modern boho chic” table for its “amazing quality” and “size.” The spacious tabletop and roomy drawers make it a versatile choice for storage and styling, while the metal hardware adds to its durability.
While I was super lucky to find a sun-drenched apartment with front-facing windows, I certainly need to stock up on curtains. These light-filtering panels from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia are a perfect middle ground that provides necessary privacy without blocking natural sunlight. The pattern adds a subtle intrigue while the tie top checks the boxes for style and function. One shopper said that the curtains “add a beautiful touch to any space” and “filters light just enough on a hot and sunny day,” and others called them “light,” “airy,” and a “great price.”
Especially now that I’m moving into a glorified studio (they call it a junior one-bedroom, I call it a scam), storage is my best friend. As such, these wicker baskets from Juvale are already in my digital cart. The set comes with three different sizes: 11 by 8 by 3.5 inches, 9.5 by 7 by 3 inches, and 7.5 by 6 by 2.5 inches, all of which are “very sturdy” and “well made,” according to reviews. The seagrass material is more durable and long-lasting than similar woven designs, and the wood handles are strong enough to transport when needed.
