I Asked a Designer to Shop for Decor at Macy’s with Just $40, and Here’s What She Bought

Macy’s is pretty much a one-stop-shop for any and everything home. From bedding and bath staples to kitchen appliances and small decor upgrades, one trip to Macy’s can really refresh a space without requiring a full style makeover. 

In a store that has everything, it’s easy to find what you need but also to find what you don’t — meaning it can be difficult to stick to a tight budget. Luckily, I found one designer up to the challenge. I gave Lauren Behfarin, interior designer and founder of Little Room Supply, a budget of just $40 to shop the site. She knows how to stretch a dollar without sacrificing style — plus, she’s a Macy’s shopper herself. 

Behfarin focused on pieces that feel thoughtful, versatile, and easy to layer with what you already own. And she knows because she owns one of them already! With spring hosting in mind, the designer chose two timeless pieces of kitchen and table decor. Check out her picks below!
