Affordable Target Items To Decorate Your New Home

1.

A scented soy wax candle that’ll make your new home smell like…well, home. This elegant glass jar candle from the Magnolia Hearth & Hand line has a 36-hour burn time and will fill your space with the spicy, woodsy scent of cardamom and vetiver. How soothing!

2.

A plush rug or two to cover your naked, naked floors — especially if you’re going from a rental with wall-to-wall carpeting to a place with hardwood floors. This modern, geometric option has a high pile that’ll be super soft on your toes while simultaneously perking up whatever room you put it in. Never underestimate the transformative powers of a good rug.

3.

A cheeky welcome mat made of coir, so you can put your visitors at ease as soon as they arrive. Not having many visitors over these days? Well, who says your welcome mat can’t welcome you home, as well?

4.

Some pretty, tasseled curtains that’ll help you get a good night’s sleep the first night in your new home — and every night thereafter. These velvet drapes from Target’s Opalhouse collection offer both elegance and whimsy, all while filtering out the light from your fabulous sleeping quarters for a restful night.

5.

A faux leather letter holder and key hook, so all your can’t-leave-the house-without-‘em items have a new home, too. The faux leather folder is perfect for stashing mail, although tons of reviewers have actually adorned it with flowers and plants instead. Meanwhile, the four metal hooks can hold anything from keys to parking passes.

6.

The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, because decorating starts with organizing. Keep what you like; cull what you don’t; and then shop smart by filling in whatever gaps you’ve got left. Does a well-decorated space spark joy? Yes. Yes, it does.

7.

A sleek, minimalist round wall mirror, because nothing helps finish off a space like your own reflection (you’re gorgeous!). No, but really – mirrors help open up a space, bounce tons of light around the room, and a touch of polish to your surroundings. Perfect? Perfect.

An all-in-one shower curtain and liner in a cherry blossom print that’s just so pretty, because now’s your chance to make your bathroom into the spa-like retreat you’ve always dreamed of.
