I asked a designer to shop at Dollar Tree - here's her $20 haul
Since moving to a new apartment a few months ago, I've been on the lookout for budget-friendly home decor. While I don't mind splurging on a few key furniture pieces, when it comes to decorative accents, I tend to look for items that don't break the bank. Designers tend to call this "the high/low method."
My friend, Libby Fehsenfeld, home staging consultant at Tralala Interiors, swears by it. "You can design a cozy and welcoming space that is budget-friendly if you are thoughtful in your approach," she says.
To put this method into practice, I decided to take a look at the home decor section at Dollar Tree. And to help me narrow down their wide selection of products, I turned once again to Libby for her expert advice; I asked her to browse the site with a budget of just $25. Although the budget retailer might not be top of mind when you think about home decor, you'll be surprised by some of Libby's finds. Check out her picks below!
