This past year, my boyfriend and I made the life-changing step from living with roommates into moving into our own apartment. This was exciting for so many reasons, but the one thing I couldn't wait to do was organzine and decorate it exactly how I've always wanted to. Getting it all together has been a process, mostly because I tried to buy pieces one by one, to save money [1]. Now that I feel I finally have our dream space, I'm here to share some of my favourite purchases.
Ahead, you can shop everything from a few new furniture pieces I shockingly found online to handy organisers [2] that changed the way I lived. So, whether you're redecorating a space you've lived in for years or are also moving, no doubt this will give you some shopping inspiration. From an organiser that stores container lids [3] to comfy bedsheets, there's something here for everyone. Keep reading to shop them all.
