Target read my mind by creating decor inspired by the midcentury modern era.
After 13 years, the cushioning of my Ikea Allerum sofa was still firm, but the slipcover had gotten ratty. But where do you get a slipcover for an Ikea product that is no longer in production?
One of my happy places is Daiso. If you don’t have a Daiso near you, I’m sorry. Daiso is a chain of Japanese dollar stores where almost everything is $1.50.
When I moved into a bigger apartment, one of the things I really, really wanted was a bar cart. The idea of wheeling something around to entertain guests — and offer them my partner’s whiskey collection — appealed to me, even if I wasn’t going to wheel it very far.
No green thumb? No problem. CB2 and Target has great-looking artificial plants. Oh, and a few planters for real plants too.
Oh Joy! has had a housewares line at Target for a few years now. They’re always brightly colored and playful, in keeping with Joy Cho’s happy aesthetic. I don’t think I could do a whole house or room with Oh Joy (it’s a bit too much for me), but I do admire some of the pieces in her 2017 spring collection.
Ikea, in my experience, is a great place to find stylish planters at lower costs. This works for me because I’m looking for simple and minimalist. The Ikea aesthetic delivers on those requirements.
I was pretty excited when I found out that Dwell Magazine was doing a collaboration with Target. I love Dwell’s pages of aspirational, modern homes. And of course I have long loved Target for its low-cost, stylish decor. They made perfect sense together.
