10 Items Bobby Berk Recommends for Homes That Do Double Duty
Our homes have been doing a lot of multitasking lately. For a lot of people, home and office are now the same space, and for those of us with kids, home might be a school as well. Your home might also be serving as a gym, meaning that this one space — which hasn’t gotten any bigger — is playing a lot of roles. As the new normal becomes increasingly more normal, it might help to have your office and school and gym properly outfitted. Bobby Berk, the interior design expert from Netflix’s Queer Eye, has created a list of things that will help your home perform all of its duties beautifully.
All of these selections are available with PayPal’s new Pay in 4* solution — meaning you can make a purchase for your home (between $30 and $600 total purchase amount at eligible merchants) and split the payment into four interest-free payments, one every two weeks. It’s a great way to improve your home while not totally blowing your budget. You’ll have the option to use Pay in 4 when checking out at millions of online stores where PayPal is accepted; just select “Pay Later” in checkout then select “Pay in 4”. Keep that in the back of your mind as we share some of Bobby’s picks for making it work.
Here are some of our favorite suggestions from Bobby Berk. Pay in 4 can be used to purchase all of these items; learn more here!
