I swear! — I'm writing all about interior design. After almost a decade spent covering everything from the latest trends to space-efficient furniture, it's safe to say I know a thing or two about making an apartment feel equal parts cosy and stylish. So when my fiancé and I moved into a new apartment last week, I wasted no time making our new home feel . . . well, like home. In fact, I've been stuffing my Target e-cart with furniture, decor, and game-changing appliances. But that isn't a major shocker, right? I mean, the retailer is known for selling good-looking home essentials for less. And if you're looking to buy home decor without accidentally spending your monthly rent on a sofa, it's the ultimate destination. So the million-dollar question: what's worth adding to your cart? To help inspire your next redecorating project, I'm sharing all of the items I'm currently eying at Target right now. With any luck, the picks ahead will inspire you to give your space some extra love.
