These 10 Target finds make my apartment look expensive, but they start at just $8
I love decorating, which is good, because I've done it a lot. I've moved seven times over the last 10 years, all around New York City, and each apartment has had its own style and flair. However, around the fifth apartment, I decided I needed to buy more timeless neutrals that I'd be excited to take to the next spot rather than leave behind. In the fashion world, they call this "quiet luxury" — tailored, high-quality basics that last and go with everything. So, yeah, that's what I was going for, except I didn't want to buy super expensive stuff, only to risk damaging it during the next sells a ton of home goods that look so much more expensive than they are. Its collections, including collaborations with Joanna Gaines' Magnolia and Studio McGee, are filled with stylish furniture and decor. And its own Figmint and Casaluna lines include cookware and linens with luxe-feeling finishes.
I've been settled in my current apartment for the last two years, and I'm planning on staying here for many more to come. But I still shop at Target for a lot of my home goods, and not to brag, but guests constantly compliment me on my decor. Sometimes they're shocked when they hear me say, "Thanks, I got it from Target!" (But they're always happy when I share the link so they can copy the look.)
Here are 10 Target faves that have earned me the most raves:
