Really great inexpensive design is more available than ever! I've come across a few great resources lately. Did you know Jonathan Adler did a super fun collection for JC Penny? Yes, you read that right, I said JC Penny... check out Happy Chic by Jonathan Adler.
Here are a few of my faves from that line
I think everybody knows Target is a great source for good design. Their specialty Shops are so great for more unique regional collections. Too by Blu Dot is fun and mod
The Threshold line is another winner. I think these new pieces are pretty great
These are just a few of the places I look for high style on a low budget. Overstock, West Elm, World Market, CB2, and Crate and Barrel are other retailers I always check out. A few tips for buying mass produced goods...
- I like to see if I can go to the store and look and touch the quality of the pieces
- I generally stay away from using store bought pillows and window treatments, that is usually where I inject some custom items so its not all off the rack and I think it elevates the design.
- I always prefer original art, its adds so much soul and there are really affordable options out there.
I'll show y'all how I mix custom and retail to achieve a unique look... perhaps tomorrow :)
