Okay! Now that I have the bare necessities for my apartment, now it is time for the fun stuff! I’m talking lighting, decor and organization. Here are some items from Target I have my eye on.
Rugs: I love the hardwood floors in my apartment… but I am in serious need of some rugs! I never realized before how fundamental and useful a rug is to an apartment. I’m trying to go for gold/green/pink in my living room and blues/greys in my bedroom. I’m looking to get a large area rug for the living room, a couple smaller rugs for my bedroom and a runner for right outside my kitchen.
Pillows: A couch, love seat and queen sized bed frame came with my apartment. I already bought my bedding and some couch covers, but now I need to customize them and tie the pieces together. Plus, the cover for my couch does not fit super snug, so I’m hoping some pillows will cover it.
Lamps/Lights: Sometimes it feels like my apartment is a cave. I have these gorgeous 10 ft windows in the main space and bedroom, but my apartment is at the back of the building, so it faces some rowhouses and bamboo. Good for privacy- bad for lighting. I already have some lamps scattered around, but I definitely need more and to replace some lampshades. I also love the idea of hanging large industrial sized string lights in my bedroom for some mood lighting.
Shelves: Since I have high ceilings, I have a lot of wall space. I’d like to get these floating shelves for my bedroom so I can have more space for plants and trinkets.
Gold Accents: I am making this it’s own category simply because that is what these four things have in common. I need something to organize my wine bottles and it might as well be gold, since that tends to be a theme I’m going for. I DREAM of a gold bar cart, but I am trying to find one secondhand on FB Marketplace before I buy this one. I also really love the idea of having a gallery wall of mirrors or frames.
Storage: I am lucky to have a bunch of closets all to myself, but I do need to get some storage containers to help organize everything. Currently everything is just throw in a closet, scattered on the floor or a shelf. But don’t tell my mom or she’ll yell at me. So yeah- storage containers are a priority.
