When it comes to decorating our home, we feel like we're never truly done. Every time we find a cute piece from Target or West Elm that we can't live without, we vow to somehow work it into our places. Especially since we've spent more time in our homes now than ever before, it's become a project and a commitment to make our spaces a sanctuary, and there's no doubt others feel the same, which is why we're gifting lots of home decor this year.
There's nothing quite like the joy of decorating your own place, and we're here to help. Whether you just moved into a new apartment or you've got a good friend who's space needs a little sprucing up, here are 30 home decor items you need to buy. Trust us — staying home has never sounded better.
