Welcome to the August edition of my favorite new home décor items of the month. I'm currently in the mood to spruce up my space for fall, and I've found all of my favorite new home arrivals for the season and put them in one easy-to-navigate place. That said, I prefer for my home décor to be appropriate for year-round use, so most of these pieces are potential permanent fixtures for your home.
A fashion person's home is an extension of their personal style, which the pandemic has really laid bare. With the constant presence of Instagram and TikTok, people are able to show off their homes more without actually showing them off IRL—hence the acute interest in stylish home décor in this day and age.
This month, I found lots of chic items that are also affordable, so that's the theme we're going with. As with fashion, why spend a ton when there are so many great affordable items to choose from? Below, you'll find stylish pieces and many covetable wares that don't require a ton of your hard-earned cash.
