Here's a little secret from professional interior designers like myself: Target is a top source of stylish yet affordable home furniture and accessories. Lucky for us, the store just launched its latest collections! I've curated the best finds below, sure to elevate your home aesthetic to the next level. Then browse what's blooming in their home department to fill in with whatever strikes your fancy—home design should be a unique reflection of your own sense of style. (If you don't think you have a real style, don't worry — find all these pieces work pretty nicely together, just load them into your cart).
Accessories are what set good design apart from the rest. Hone your statement pieces with this trio of bold black candlesticks that have a hand forged appearance. Varying heights layer your ambient light for the perfect glow.
Clean lines with an OG arch to add softness, this off-white, greyed wood coffee table blends with many aesthetics. The square shape serves as a central focal point for your upholstery.
A pair of slipper chairs in your living or family room rounds out your conversational seating. These velvet slipper chairs make a large impact without a large imprint. Three neutral shades available to compliment your decor.
Lighting can make or break a room. Make sure you layer lighting for tasks, like reading, and don't rely on overhead lights that cast shadows. This rattan weave lamp is unique with woven shade.
You can never have enough baskets. They hide everything from shoes to newspapers to laundry. Use them as accents that highlight throw blankets or firewood. This woven basket boasts natural stripes and vegan leather handles. Available in two sizes, the large (shown) and a smaller size for just $15.
This black and white rug makes a statement while grounding a space. Juxtapose this rug with neutral pieces for a bold accent or use it to balance bright colors. It's also available in a larger 7' by 10' size for $260.
A new shower curtain can transform your bathroom for a very small investment. The tassels on this Magnolia by Joanna Gaines curtain gives off Turkish bath spa vibes. The taupe accent is neutral for every bathroom.
This reversible quilt makes for charming warm-weather bedding. Reminiscent of other pricier brands, Threshold is an affordable alternative to get that woodblock printed look. Coordinate with the matching shams (sold separately). Also available in king size for only $10 more.
A touch of brass for a touch of class. This accent table works anywhere, especially because it features adjustability. Raise it from 20 to 24 inches, so it can serve as an end table or drink table. Plus, it's real pretty.
I go coocoo for caning and this TV console serves my craving. Hide unsightly storage items within the cabinets and use the open shelves for decorative objects or for TV components. The rounded edges add softness to your space. Easily fits TVs up to 72".
I'm loving this pin-tucked pouf. Tuck a pair under a console for extra seating or use one in front of your favorite chair. Available in six linen colors — blush pink, mustard yellow, navy, aqua and off-white (shown) — to add a layer of texture to your space.
If you haven't switched to Swedish dishcloths, you're missing out. Not only do they save money in the long run, but they work way better than paper towels. Super absorbent and washable for reuse, these come in a pretty print in blue, orange or pink.
Grab this stylish channel back platform bed, no box spring required. Available in five sizes and six lush velvet colors — teal, burnt orange, canary yellow, light olive, beige and this ultra feminine blush pink (shown).
A touch of green is imperative in every room. If you don't have a green thumb, or your room doesn't get enough light, fake it with a faux plant like this potted leafy green.
Don't forget the front door. Welcome your guests properly with a new coir mat -- your old one will look beat up after the winter season. This neutral mat will freshen up your porch.
Don't forget to check out Target's weekly steals in their newsletter so you can score the lowest prices on everything from appliances to Valentine's Day candy. (The extra savings means you can buy a brand-new bath mat to match your new shower curtain.)
