Moving Into Your First Place? Don't Forget These Decor Essentials

Collecting art is typically a long-term project, but your walls need something ASAP. Fortunately, you can adorn your space quickly and add to your collection as time goes on. If you're creative, try your hand at painting or photography — or buy a print from a local artist. If you're into vintage imagery, head to the Library of Congress, which has hundreds of free downloadable photographs that you can print and frame. And of course, don't discount the value of a beautiful coffee table book. This eye-catching Faith Ringgold ($50) catalog looks stunning on display, and its contents will inspire you to keep filling your home with things that inspire you.
