The Under $50 Fall-Inspired Decor Items You Need ASAP
I’ve personally been itching to bust out my fall wreath and felt pumpkins since late August, but the wait is over! As someone who loves the idea of the season but actually experiences none of its wonders (because…South Florida), putting out these little festive touches is about as close as I’m going to get to fall feels (that and binge watching Hocus Pocus on repeat while burning every pumpkin and apple orchard-scented candle I can get my hands on).

Decor Match Maker: 10 Coffee & Side Table Pairings That Just Plain Work
If your sofa is the protagonist of your living room, your coffee and side tables are the necessary supporting cast — pivotal details to making the whole space gel. But pairing these elements can sometimes feel a little tricky. Do the wood tones have to match? Do the metal finishes have to be the same? Do I have to buy a pre-selected set at my local furniture depot (or picks from the same collection) just to get something that coordinates? No!

Problem Solvers: 9 Smart & Stylish Finds for Small Entryways
Over the years I’ve come to realize that one of the keys to a well-functioning, uncluttered home is having an entryway that works well. It’s a spot to gather up all the things that you’ll need when you go out into the world, and also a sort of buffer zone to keep unwanted clutter from entering your home. Maxwell has really explored this with his idea of the landing strip, which is worth checking out.

Target fans know how easy it is for a “quick trip” (online or in person) to turn into a long meander looking at, well…everything.

We called on Natalie Myers, the mastermind behind Veneer Designs, to see what specific home decor items she’s a fan of at the superstore, and her selections didn’t disappoint.

The New Toile: A Beloved Pattern Gets Cheeky Fresh Twists
I’ve long been fascinated by toile. Toile, if you’re not familiar, is the name first given to the cotton fabric produced in the town of Jouy, in France, and then to the pattern of charming vignettes, usually printed in a single color, that covered its surface. Traditional toile, like the wallpaper that covered the walls of our bathroom in the house where I grew up, features scenes of provincial life: shepherds driving sheep, lovers meeting beneath trees.

Everything You Need to Dine Outside This Summer

It’s Time to Introduce Your Plants to Their Vintage Soulmate
I will never claim to have a green thumb. My local plant shop knows better than to try and sell me anything less than the most resilient greenery, and more than once I’ve tried to make dry leaves look gloomily intentional. Despite my lack of gardening skills, I love to dig through plant-packed homes on Instagram and drool over the inventive ways people have thought to display their collection.

Splurge, Save, Steal: Plush and Stylish Vintage Rugs
Every design element needs it’s counterpart: for every shiny hardwood floor, your toes are probably also craving comfort from the right rug.

There are a ton of beautiful vintage rugs on the Marketplace, but these three stood out for being great deals (and yes, a well-deserved #treatyourself moment).

The Best of Designer Arne Jacobsen on the Marketplace
One of the downfalls of an ambitious designer can be overthinking; your head is swimming with all of these concepts and forms and colors, and far too often function takes a backseat to frills. How many times have you seen some cutting-edge modern design unveiling and thought, “is….is that a chair? Where do your legs go? And why so many edges?!

Shine On with Decorative Brass Accents
If your home is anything like mine, it’s a mix of secondhand, lower-cost furniture with a few slightly more expensive pieces. It’s been a slow transition to upgrade from futons and flat-pack furniture as my budget allows it. I’ve learned that decor accessories with metallic finishes can really make a room look and feel more upscale. Brass particularly has a worldly quality to it that gives your belongings a polished appearance.

The Best of Hans Wegner in the Marketplace
There’s a big difference between understanding the concept of a design style and recognizing individual artists’ work; Danish modernism has a lot of common themes that can make it easy to grasp, but designers like Verner Panton and Arne Jacobsen have unique attributes all their own.

Come Sit By Me: Benches Available in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles
I have yet to meet a room that couldn’t benefit from a bench. From the foyer to the dining table to the end of the bed, a bench offers more than just a seat.

Sleep Tight With the Right Nightstand for Every Budget
All hail the humble nightstand! As much as a comfy bed and light-blocking curtains are essential to a good night’s sleep, you can’t knock the impact that a nightstand can have on your relaxation time. It allows you to store a good book or crossword puzzle nearby in case you need to force a little drowsiness, keep your phone (which is probably also your alarm clock) close at hand, and find the perfect space to hide a midnight snack. So you definitely need one, but where to begin?

Splurge, Save, Steal: Sleek and Modern Chandeliers
Nothing adds instant drama to a space quite like a chandelier. But if you’re anything like me, the word tends to draw up mental images of stuffy decor and overly-ornate crystal. With the gorgeous range of more minimal, modern designs out there, this definitely doesn’t have to be the case. Apartment Therapy Marketplace has a bunch of beautiful chandeliers in stock, but these modern finds stood out from the pack.

Monday on Marketplace: A Bookcase for Every Budget
My apartment defies basic New York City cliches by having a “regular”-sized bedroom and a huge kitchen. But as someone who doesn’t cook very often, I’ve repurposed a whole section of open shelving into a makeshift bookshelf over my breakfast table. That’s because despite not making it into your general idea of apartment must-haves (like a sofa and bed), I think that you should try to work a bookshelf (or bookcase) into your home anyway you can.

Splurge, Save, Steal: Get Productive With a New Desk Chair
I’m here to sing the praises of the humble desk chair. As much as a clean and clear surface is an essential part of a workspace, you could argue that the right seating is what can really make or break your 9 to 5. For those of us who even occasionally work at home, desk chairs can be a kind of Goldilocks situation: if they’re too soft and unsupportive you’ll probably end up nodding off, and overly stiff models mean restless legs and sore backs.

On the Hunt for the Weird and Cool? Check out Reuse America Vintage Warehouse
Say what you will about odd finds for the home but I tend to gravitate to them. In my living room hangs a 5-foot marquee letter Y — an impulse purchase from Marketplace. It comes with a fun story: it was once used in a Korean beer commercial featuring Psy of Gangnam Style-fame. Unusual finds—big and small—can add a special something to your space to make it stand apart. It’s why I’m constantly checking Reuse America Vintage Warehouse’s Marketplace corner.

Splurge, Save, Steal: Home Decor Inspired by Nature
Despite not being an outdoorsy person, I love nature but I love it more indoors. I regularly bring home little bits of the outside. On my desk is a tiny bowl of sea urchin shells I painstakingly brought back from a scuba diving trip. In the living room hangs a sculptural (and broken) tree branch I dragged home from the neighborhood park one day.

Chicago Vintage Dealer Timothy Burkhart Picks His Marketplace Favorites
When I’m looking for good Marketplace content to share on social media, there are a few choice sellers that I know I can always count on to provide quality stuff. Dial M For Modern is one of those sellers, and Timothy Burkhart is the vintage phenom behind the brand.
