They say (“they” meaning basically everyone) that moving is the most stressful thing you can do in your life. And my fiance and I are moving next week. Even though it will suck, I am looking forward to this move. Finally, we’ve decided to move on from the broken, stained and generally mid home decor we’ve brought from apartment to apartment over the years.

The tricky thing is we live in New York City. Because New York City rent is notoriously pricey for small apartments, I have to get creative with our budget and space. The challenge is making our apartment feel like an adult home. After digging through the depths of the internet, there’s way more chic, affordable home decor than you would think.
I already own these expensive-looking shower caddies, but I want to get two more. There's no drilling required, but they're so sturdy. It's been two years, and there's still no sign of rust!
Whatever is the opposite of a green thumb, I have it. But I do love plants! Luckily, this snake plant on Amazon is super affordable and basically indestructible, according to all the plant lovers around me.
OK, so this Assouline coffee table book isn't exactly affordable. Still, I've always wanted one, and I've flipped through the pages of this Amalfi Coast book in stores more times than I can count.
I'm not the best at keeping my jewelry organized on a jewelry tree, which is why this decorative mirror tray is perfect. It comes in a bunch of colors, but I'm leaning toward this vintage green.
While I could spend $1,000-plus on a nice wood dresser, my bank may call my therapist to see if I'm OK. It's so much easier and cheaper to buy a basic dresser for like $200 and swap out the knobs for something a little more chic to fancy it up.
My fiance is from the Southern California area, which is obviously very different from New York City. I adore homesick candles because they're made to smell like each location the candle is named after. This way, we can get a piece of his home in our home.
A statement serving bowl like this one looks so good on any table or counter. I already know this is where I will store fruit like lemons, limes and oranges.
