Five Discount Home Dcor Shopping Ideas
Home Dcor on a Budget
If youre like the majority of people, you dont have thousands of extra dollars to spend on home dcor. Everyone wants their home to be nice, cozy, welcoming, and to reflect who they are on the inside. Unfortunately, that can be kind of a tall order for those of us whose home dcor budgets are limited. DIY home dcor is always nice, but at a certain point our DIY skills have a limit. Luckily, there are a lot of options for people who want to decorate their homes nicely without breaking the bank.
Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Morning is probably my favorite place to buy things for my home. If youre the type who cares about brands and labels, you can find many top brands at Tuesday Morning, and everything is always deeply discounted. Unlike some of the other retailers on this list, Tuesday Morning specializes in goods for the home, so they often have a much larger selection than other discount retailers. Of course, the availability of certain items can be limited, and theyre not guaranteed to have anything special in stock, but in general the selection is very good. A lot of my favorite home and kitchen items came from Tuesday Morning, and I didnt pay too much.
Home Goods/TJ Maxx
Home Goods' stores are usually attached to TJ Maxx clothing outlets, but Ive noticed that sometimes home dcor items are in TJ Maxx stores without an associated Home Goods. Either way, this is a great place to find deals on well-made housewares and dcor. Like Tuesday Morning, they dont always have everything, but Im consistently surprised at just how extensive their inventory is. Its rare that I go to Home Goods looking for something specific and dont find it. If I cant find what I want at Tuesday Morning, Home Goods is my second choice.
Anthropologie
If you know anything about Anthropologies clothes, you probably think I am crazy for recommending them as a place to shop for home dcor. However, I have found that their home items are much more reasonably-priced than their clothing. And if you are looking for something thats a little more elegant or unique than what you can find at discount retailers, Anthropologie is a great place to look. Although they generally dont have a large selection of items for the kitchen, I have seen some great silverware and other dining supplies pass through their showrooms. Unlike Tuesday Morning and Home Goods, you can shop online at Anthropologies website.
Hobby Lobby
Hobby Lobby is good for more than just DIY. They actually have quite a large selection of home dcor, including furniture. The great thing about their home dcor stock is that they often have items similar to what you would find at Bed Bath & Beyond, for about two-thirds or half the price. My guess is that Hobby Lobby is able to offer lower prices on home dcor because it isnt their primary business. Their selection is sometimes built with an eye toward DIY, but there are plenty of stand-alone goodies to be purchased there.
IKEA
No list of discount home dcor ideas would be complete without a mention of this Scandinavian giant. IKEA has quite literally everything you could possibly want for your home, and probably a few things you never knew you wanted. If its furniture youre after, you can mix, match, and assemble to your hearts content at IKEA. A few words of warning are in order, though. IKEAs furniture is very inexpensive because its made from particle board, rather than solid wood. This means its unfortunately slightly lower in quality than hardwood items. Second, if you take a trip to IKEA, set aside at least a couple of hours! Once you enter the IKEA maze, it isnt always easy to find your way out.
