Budget will be really helpful. How much do you want to spend on a sofa, chairs, a headboard for your bed, nightstands etc.

we have had good luck finding things secondhand on facebook marketplace

What does affordable mean to you?

I love finding special pieces online. Mid in Mod always surprises me—my ashland recliner sofa is my favorite spot to rest my morning coffee. I also adore Joybird for its range of color-pop sofas, and I snagged a velvet accent chair there that brightens my mornings. Article has great rugs—my Gable Ivory is still perfect after months of use. Lately I’ve been eyeing a sleek floor lamp from Homary to add a warm glow to my reading nook.

Estate sales. Sign up for an email that sends you the list of local ones every week. Great for decor and kitchen stuff

Facebook marketplace, habitat for humanity restore, goodwill, offerup, ebay, Mercari, bealls, and amazon warehouse.

I like going to thrift stores best! Savers is my favorite. You can see the items in person and they're pretty cheap especially compared to new.

Facebook Marketplace

What style and vibe do you want? If you're just going for cost these are the best places by decor type imo

1. Retro Decor: Polkaat
2. Flatware and Towels: Target
3. Bath Accessories: CB2
4. Bath Towels and Shower Curtain: Olive and Linen
5. Furniture: Estate sales and antique auctions (varies by location), for wood refinishing, local services are best.
6. Window Curtains: Crate and Barrel
7. Curtain Rods: Bed Bath and Beyond
8. Lighting: Perigold or Wayfair (Robert Abbey products recommended)
9. Rugs: IKEA or HomeGoods
10. Wall Art: Online or thrift stores (varies by location).
11. Decorative Pillows: Amazon or thrift shops.
12. Plants: Local nurseries or home improvement stores.
13. Bookshelves: IKEA or second-hand shops.
14. Mirrors: HomeGoods or thrift stores.
15. Storage Baskets: IKEA or dollar stores.

Here's a new store for your list! https://farmandpepper.com/

Your opt in pop up is broken. It takes over the whole site and you can't close it. I would suggest you fix that asap as it does not make for a good user experience!

Thank you for this post!!

You can also add this to the list

Society6 has a bunch of boho stuff that you can usually find promo codes and sales on. I like that you can find large format art that doesn’t brake the bank.

Thrift/charity shops!!! Facebook marketplace, gumtree, freegle, eBay, Etsy, antique shops, garage sales... If you can be patient searching, secondhand is great value, more unique items, and can be longer lasting if you find the high quality older furniture before it was all mass produced. It also massively helps the planet. 🥰

World market

Let me know if you find any good sites! I really want a ton of the stuff on Etsy but it's so damn expensive and I'm trying to find alternatives.

Believe it or not, Urban Outfitters. Browse and note the stuff you like, and then check the prices on them regularly for a sale. Sales are often 40% off and their items tend to take months, sometimes years, to be discontinued. I'm a big fan of some of their quirky, unique ceramic or terracotta side tables. Also, H&M has a surprisingly nice home section on their website, but their popular items go fast, often in mere days,and don't come back so if you fall in love with something, grab it. I'm also a big sucker for Threshold by Studio McGee at Target. Didn't care for many of Threshold's past collaborations, but some of their collab with SM has really hit on all of my decor bittons.

Depending on your tastes, I would recommend our local thrift stores like Ruth’s Room, Twice as Nice, or Upscale Resale

Hit some estate sales.

Ruth’s Room and Upscale Resale as well as sometimes the Mini Mall!!!!! Hope this helps

Facebook marketplace

Def the thrift stores but dollar tree has some good crap. fake flowers and holiday stuff mostly but it helps fill in the blanks

I think Kaison and Hooga fit the bill for what you’re looking for. I would also suggest the home goods floor of most anchor department stores like Aeon and Parkson, especially in the bigger malls.

OP may explore the below, would suggest to start with MyTown for the 1st 3 shops below:

1. Kaison @ major malls in Klang Valley including MyTown
2. U.JU @ MyTown and The Curve
3. Typo @ major malls in Klang Valley including MyTown (could be affordable if with sales)
4. HOOGA @ major malls in Klang Valley but not in MyTown
5. H&M Home @ Avenue K and Sunway Pyramid (could be affordable if with sales)
6. Mr DIY
7. Daiso
8. Home’s Harmony

Jalan Jalan Japan and JBR Bundle if you like to thrift

You can try your luck with BuyNothing groups on FB and carousell, although searching for what suits your taste may take a while.

I like At Home. They have some really neat stuff and their prices are pretty good.

Goodwill and other thrift stores often sell things like plates, trays, and vases for 25 to 50 cents each near where I live.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores also sell old furniture and usually a lot of framed paintings and canvases also for very cheap (plus, all the profit goes towards Habitat for Humanity).

Ikea is my favorite place to get smaller picture frames, can usually be found for a dollar each.

facebook marketplace!! and the for-sale section on nextdoor. i have found some GEMS on there, especially in the summer when a lot of leases turn over and people do move-out sales. during COVID i've just been trying to be selective & cautious about how i pick up (paying via venmo & doing contactless pickup)

for non-thrifted stuff, I really like H&M! their home decor stuff is mostly online-only, so even pre-/post-pandemic you can't see it in person before you buy, but its in general REALLY affordable and trendy!

Estate sales can have some real gems, and I think often you get better deals than craigslist or thrift stores, because they’re just trying to clear the whole house out, especially on the last day of the sale.

Ross. Some things are cheap looking but I decorated most of my apartment with things I found at Ross. Wall art is way cheaper than at target. They have everything (kitchen wear, home decor, clothing, etc), I’ve even bought bulk spices there for really good prices

The range & B&M are a good shout

Edited: TK Maxx also

Wilko is great for household accessories and stuff.

Tk Maxx is good too

Latifs in digbeth for the super budget option

Homesense is also a great option. They have lots of affordable bits, plus some more luxury items too. There is one at Merry Hill (Brierley Hill/Dudley) and one in Solihull.
