Relocating to a new state where you don’t have family or friends can be terrifying and takes a lot of guts. However, I felt nothing but excitement for this new adventure I was about to embark on. I was more than ready for a new journey, new friends, new man? , and most of all a chance to pick out stylish home design furniture!
The Solid Five is all about sharing 5 kick ass items and today I’m going to share 5 of my favorite and affordable home decor/furniture pieces from everybody’s favorite online shopping platform…YOU GUESSED IT! Amazon.
I’ve ordered this list from favorite to MOST favorite:
My apartment came with a built in desk and I wanted a stylish chair that wasn’t too big or too wide that would fit in this space and slide right in. I found this velvet chair and ordered it right away. This chair had great reviews and it was pretty easy to put together. All I had to do was screw the legs on. I ordered the rug shortly after because this space looked unfinished, the bookcase above is dark and the chair can be dark or bring color into the room depending on the time of day, therefore I went with a white rug to brighten up the space. Something about a fur rug brings luxury and some chic into your living space.
3. Velvet Bench
When I began working on designing my room I was beginning to worry that I wouldn’t have enough space to include a “lounge area” which is really important for me to have. I was going to go for it anyway and hope for the best. This could either look beautiful and spacious or awkward and crowded. I knew I wanted something different so I looked up “bedroom bench”. A bench instead of a chair makes things interesting! I landed on a velvet green bench (are you starting to notice a trend here?) that fit perfectly into the only part of the room I had available.
4. Lamp
Friends, I looooove this lamp! First of all the lighting “as is” in my room sucks. I knew I would need a lamp but if I was going to buy a lamp I wanted it to serve more than one purpose. It would need to be a statement as well as providing my preferred lighting. It was the perfect mix of modern, chic, and glam. This lamp is a standing one but it’s also chandelier style. The shape feels really modern but the sheer fabric that’s been laced on top really makes it chic and adds softness. This was a MUST HAVE for me.
We finally reached my favorite piece of all. My amazing vanity!!!! This vanity takes up just the right amount of space. It has two drawers and it was super easy to assemble. The BEST part of this vanity is the mirror. The mirror is touch screen and it has a built in selfie ring light with 3 light settings. Now that I’ve been working from home, this vanity has a dual purpose. My vanity serves as a makeup station and work from home desk. On virtual calls I turn the selfie ring light on and BAM, my lighting looks ten times better. If you’ve been looking for a vanity and decide to go with this one you won’t regret it.
All these stylish home design items can be found by clicking on the hyperlinks, I’ve included them in this post to make it easier for you all. Feel free to leave a comment, make a suggestion, ask a question, whatever. It’s been a pleasure. Stay safe and happy decorating!
