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. 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 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 to comfy bedsheets, there's something here for everyone. Keep reading to shop them all.
