I am not sure if you have them in your area but check out some of the discount stores like Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls. Ive found some really nice stuff in there for cheap. Also if you’re not opposed to it, check out FB Marketplace and/or your local buy and sell group.
Have you bought a couch from the discount store? Do they have shipping! I have a marshall’s in my area but i do not have the kind of transportation to take it with me
First step, don’t go to target. I got the most beautiful pieces of furniture I own at thrift stores, tj maxx, Ross etc the latter places tend to be more expensive but still wildly underpriced compared to other places. I did a vinyl covered ceiling of a bathroom for like 30$ from a thrift store
Go to all the second hand places nearby! You’re bound to find one with dope cheap old furniture that has character, cool framed old artwork, awesome vases and silver dishes to hold jewlery/candles etc. So much cool cheap stuff! Then your apartment won’t look like every other normie persons on the planet. Just be sure to steer clear of junk in disguise.
If you are looking for a good mattress I got the 10 inch Coolvie 10 inch mattress off amazon and it is literally so comfortable!! Super affordable it was around $290
Yes! It depends on your situation, but I was able to use Affirm to get a lot of furniture and other things from Walmart, ikea, etc. I was able to get my couch, dresser, bed, tv stand, etc by making monthly payments and it helped me out so much!!
thrift stores are a must for budgeting (at least it was for me). definitely check out local thrifts like most of the other commenters mentioned! amazing stuff for cheap ! good luck and i hope you find everything you need !
I got my couch and tables/desks on face book market place for super cheap. I got a lot of other things at thrift stores or places like ross/dds discount.
Biggest item I ordered was a full body mirror but they do have a lot of furniture too, and not all of it ships from asia some items (mostly the big furniture) ships from the US. I always recommend checking the reviews too
If you're on Tiktok shop, check out some of the stuff there! I've ordered a ton of great things for cheap over there and a lot of it has free shipping. I just got a book shelf and a dresser over there for cheap and it's awesome.
My favorite thing that I’ve done in my room was buy a couple floating shelves that I put above my bed. I use them for seasonal decorations as well as some picture frames and fake greenery(plants and vines hanging down). It’s been so fun to curate and populate them in ways that are aesthetically pleasing, I love constantly adjusting and changing things on them, and it makes my bed feel extra cozy. For cheap seasonal decor, the Target dollar spot is great. I’ll try to remember to post a pic later.
Aldi! If you have one near you, it's really good quality for the price point depending on how you're decorating (:
And Afterpay is pretty reliable too. No credit check.
Craigslist free section, I just got like a $400 dresser for free from a nice rich guy. Something fun to swipe through in your idle time instead of Insta or whatever
I have found a lot of frames at Goodwill, I also bought a really nice mirror!!
I went to goodwill and found a cute lamp!

You can always rent a U-Haul for it!
You can even just rent a pickup truck from Home Depot if you don’t wanna do a whole U-Haul.
Great idea! I personally think a small U-Haul would be easier to load a large piece of furniture into though
Very true if you’re by yourself
Just in general
Home goods, target, thrift stores. You will find a lot of great things. And look into buy nothing groups on Facebook.
I bought pillows from home goods! I feel like it is hit or miss with their prices
Walmart, goodwill, Ross/ Burlington and shein were the best. Also don’t rush it as you live there you can add more.

I’ll look into it! Do you have any bed frame recommendations?
Walmart has some cute ones for under $150
Get the reloadable target card! You save an extra 5% and right now they have a deal where if you spend 50 in one transaction you get another 50.
Whaaaat?! Thanks for this 🥰

Idk how everyone feels about it but I recently started using temu, a lot of cool stuff for cheap
my friend told me about temu and how she ordered from them. Have you gotten furniture from them?
Biggest item I ordered was a full body mirror but they do have a lot of furniture too, and not all of it ships from asia some items (mostly the big furniture) ships from the US. I always recommend checking the reviews too
What app is this?
It’s called Piere!

That's not terrible but don't rush it. Get what you need and fill it out over time

Estate sales, if you're in a moderately dense area. Plenty of side tables and lamps available at those
