It usually takes a lot of conscious effort to look effortless. For most people, a “laid-back yet somehow perfectly polished” style is either just a dream, or the end result of strategic research and Pinteresting. But then there’s Calivintage‘s Erin Hagstrom: a lifestyle blogger and stylish mother of two, everything from her clothes to 1920’s home manages to exude a breezy, Californian aesthetic with a classic vintage twist.

I’m going to go ahead and make two declarative statements based solely on instinct with no hard evidence to support them: you’re a hard worker and you deserve a treat. That’s why, rather than have you dig around the Apartment Therapy Marketplace for your next favorite find, I’ve rounded up the best local deals for you. Like I said, you deserve it.

The term “good deal” is relative: someone may think that it’s about the amount saved, while others are sticklers for a low final ticket price, regardless of the original cost. But I’m pretty confident in saying that $25-and-under is a category that any shoppers would be hard-pressed to pass up; that’s why we’re kicking off the week with some stellar savings from Apartment Therapy Marketplace.

There are just some designers that you need to know to get a better understanding of the field, especially those that have maintained relevance into the modern era. While Knoll as a firm is known for producing the works of classic designers like Marcel Breuer, Harry Bertoia and their modern counterparts, Florence Knoll had a design style distinctly her own.

I’ll admit, I’ve been holding onto a pretty old-school idea about what it means to own a rocking chair. For me personally, the term whipped up imagery of a baby being rocked to sleep in something padded and pastel, or an older person sitting on a front porch, judging neighborhood youths from a rickety rocker. And while I’m sure these scenarios are being acted out somewhere in the world, the options we have here have completely exceeded those style expectations.

Who can say no to a good deal? Even better: when that deal is under $50? You don’t need to adjust your budget for these favorites from Apartment Therapy Marketplace; get your work week off to a great start by checking out some of our (seriously well-priced) favorite listings. For naturally organized people with beautiful collections to display (aka, Goal People), open shelving is the way to go.

Look, I know you have a million reasons to skip your morning meal: a long commute, desire to sleep in, desire to not burn anything before 9 am. But when you can find the time for it, treating yourself to a leisurely breakfast is always a good choice. That’s why this week’s picks from Apartment Therapy Marketplace are all about the most important meal of the day, and how they can help you reach some tasty goals before heading out the door.

Envy-worthy style for a great price has never been more achievable than it is now; a little digging can mean the difference between taking out a small loan to furnish your living room and revamping your entire home on a budget. If you consider yourself to be a master of spotting a great deal among designer duplicates, it’s time to put your skills to the ultimate test.

Few things are more personal than art preference. Minimalists may be drawn to clean lines and graphic prints, while traditionalists will turn oil paintings into ornately framed masterpieces. But one thing that most people can probably agree on: no one wants to turn their walls into a cookie-cutter copycat of someone else’s. That’s where vintage art comes in!

There’s something to be said about a solo artist: a lot of notable designers have left their mark under one name or larger brand. But when two visionaries get together on the same team? That’s when you’re dealing with a force to be reckoned with. Eames may be a company that’s synonymous with mid-century design, but it’s the husband and wife duo behind it that gave the brand staying power well into the modern era.

It’s Monday. The weekend flew by, five workdays loom ahead…and you deserve a little treat. What’s better than finding something one-of-a-kind for a great price? No need to dig around; these five finds from Apartment Therapy Marketplace are easy on the eyes and your budget: everything is under $100 and guaranteed to get some attention. Are your walls itching for an update? This reclaimed wood art piece was handmade from salvaged materials, while maintaining a cool, modern edge.

The gap between “finding the perfect design inspiration” and “making it a reality” can sometimes feel like the Grand Canyon. Speaking as someone who loves interior design but puts more thought into finding the best deal on a kitchen table than most people put into college applications, I’m no stranger to a good bargain hunt. And yes, that means finding affordable substitutions for any and all costlier buys (looking at you, kitchen table).

Everybody loves a visionary: when you’re surrounded by a sea of similar designs, it’s always refreshing to be attracted to something that really breaks the mold. So when the world was loving everything mid-century modern and wood, one Italian designer crossed the globe to shake things up. Our latest essential designer you should know is the modern master himself, Harry Bertoia.

What makes a brand stand the test of time? Some designers can be divisive, or even just forgotten, and certain styles might not work outside of the era of their inception (looking at you, inflatable armchair of my youth). Just like the iconic designers and brands we’ve been working our way through, this company has maintained popularity for a reason: Lane Furniture and their clean, high-quality designs.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to personal style, and lighting is no exception. For every design preference, we have your pendant light counterpart: are you bohemian and all-natural? Industrial and hard-edged? Just thrifty and know how to grab a good deal when you see it? With the huge selection available, there’s no wrong answer (only many, many great options). Have your ideal vision in mind?

Want to save over $800? Ok, I’m getting ahead of myself. This isn’t the first time I’ve sung the praises of Milo Baughman and his impressive body of work. His long term collaboration with Thayer Coggin produced some hugely popular modern designs, many of which are still hunted down and coveted to this day. And even while surrounded by it’s fellow sleek, chrome counterparts, the 1188 dining chair definitely still stands out.

Back when I made the coveted transition from dorm to first college apartment, my living room consisted of a Walmart futon, curbside coffee table, and my roommate’s gigantic, cheetah print shoe chair lovingly transported from Long Island. And even though I’m well into early adulthood, I’m still slowly but surely building up to having a fully furnished, grown up apartment.

There’s no shame in admitting that you look forward to sleep. Speaking as someone constantly surrounded by traffic noise, a packed schedule, and a not-for-the-faint-of-heart commute, having a cozy bed to jump into at the end of the day is crucial and much appreciated. But even more important than what you sleep on is the overall environment you’ve created for yourself. Looking to turn your room into a place you’ll be really excited to escape to?

Here’s a nightmare scenario for you: after a long day of work and a hellish commute, you’re beyond ready to dive into bed. But just as soon as your head hits the pillow, you and that fluffy essential have slid right off. What could be standing between you and a much-deserved peaceful night’s sleep? Hello, headboards! For those not looking to place their bed frame directly against a wall, headboards are an absolute must.

Can you tell your Knolls from your knockoffs? While I’ve been working my way through essential designers that everyone should know, I’m feeling a little more confident that you’ll recognize this one. The king of the Tulip chairs and your neo-futuristic dreams, Eero Saarinen. Way before the Finnish phenom left his mark on the world of design, he had some big shoes to fill.

The cards are sent, the flowers have been exchanged, and all the candy’s on sale. Valentine’s Day may be over, but there’s still a thing or two that we can carry with us throughout the year. Mainly: all things pink. Before you object, hear me out. Despite what your preconceived notions may be, pink can look surprisingly modern (and yes, adult) when you know how to work it in. As much as moody hues and minimalism are having their moment, who can say no to a happy dose of color?

It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day to appreciate a good loveseat, but they do offer an added intimate appeal today: sometimes the best V-Day plans are just you, your boo, and a cozy night in. Rather than sprawl out on a sectional feeling worlds away, why not throw a new loveseat into the mix to really get comfy? Since today is all about love, we’ve done the hard work for you and found some great options on Apartment Therapy Marketplace.

I am a firm believer in “too much of a good thing.” Despite being a dedicated modernist through and through, you can only dig through so many mid-century designs before it starts to feel a little repetitive and over-saturated. In a world of sharp edges and sometimes cookie-cutter design, it’s nice to find some respite: the relaxed, grounded look of bohemian style.

Mid-century modern style isn’t hard to come by these days; when you’re just starting out and need to furnish a new space, low-cost reproductions can be a huge design (and life) saver. But when you’re finally ready to say goodbye to the imitators and move onto the real deal, an authentic vintage desk is the best way to enter the world of established adults. And there are a ton currently listed for way less than you may think.

You know a beautiful piece when you see it, but can you pick a Saarinen from a Baumritter? In an ongoing effort to bring a little background into the world of design, I’m sharing some favorite old-school designers who’s pieces are still being coveted to this day. So diehard minimalists, I’d like to introduce you to your new favorite person: Paul McCobb.

A common concern when designing your home can be accidentally creating The Over-Editorialized Space: you’ve added so many well-styled elements that it begins to read as more of a “look, don’t touch” setup, rather than a comfortable home. Any easy remedy for this? Taking a more natural approach. Reclaimed wood is kind of an interior design savior.

After my roommate moved out and took almost everything (save many candle stubs and decorative dish rags), I was left table-less. And since there’s nothing more depressing than eating a microwaved dinner in bed, hunting down an appropriate kitchen table became my number one priority. The point of this sad tale is that for something as important as eating and entertaining, you need to find the right dining setup. ASAP.

Picture this: you’re about 10 rows deep into the vintage furniture warehouse of your dreams. The walls are closing in. You’re surrounded by options but no clear path, with an Eames sofa, Baumritter dresser and a 1970’s painting of cat clouding your vision. You know you want to add vintage pieces, but where to begin?!

The way I see it, there are two stages to getting into the world of design: learning names, then attaching them to specific works. It’s one thing to be certain that someone named Florence Knoll designed something at some point, but would you be able to pick her work out of a lineup? Close that search bar, because Design 101 is in session.

We live in a world of easily accessible knockoffs: for every authentic Eames chair, chances are you can find hundreds of cheap plastic counterparts. And while I’m never opposed to saving, some things are definitely worth investing in, both for the look and quality that you’re guaranteed. Kilim rugs are the perfect example of this. Turkish in origin, the flat-weaving technique behind these rugs produces crisp lines and bold patterns.

If there’s one thing every tenant and homeowner can agree on, it’s that you can always use more storage options. Everyone, I’m here to introduce you to your new, multifunctional life saver: the wall unit. While standalone hutches and credenzas can take up valuable floor space, the wall unit keeps everything tucked neatly away against (and often elevated onto) the wall.

With a new year upon us, most people are looking to get their lives downsized and organized. And if you’re anything like me, chances are your clothing (and bedroom storage in general) are going to be a big priority. So while checking the Apartment Therapy Marketplace for the best new deals of the week, I stumbled upon our solution to this universal problem: the highboy. If clean design and optimal storage had a baby, it would be the highboy.

Let’s start by getting one thing out of the way: this is very painful for me. As a lifelong, tried-and-true, loyal devotee to the cult of Basically Only Accenting With Black, it’s understandably hard for me to accept that another shade could be taking its place. But the design world has spoken, and navy is expected to leave its mark on 2017 in a big way. And wouldn’t you know it, I’ve warmed up to the look.

Loyalists to the Apartment Therapy Marketplace know that tons of great new stuff is added every day. But since we live in a busy world, you might not get the chance to check for new listings as much as you’d like. That’s where I come in. I spend a good amount of time digging through the latest uploads each day, and am more than happy to spread the love when it comes to great deals.
