Decorating your home can get pricey. But you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to achieve the aesthetic you want for your home. Heading to a local store for your home decor needs is tempting; however, you’ll go over budget quickly.
Instead, buy beautiful statement pieces secondhand. You can find foundational pieces at thrift stores and transform them into entirely new objects.
Invest in your space while shopping more sustainably and lessening your impact on the Earth. Here are the best home decor items you can buy from thrift stores rather than paying the full retail price.
Artwork
When you buy artwork from big-box stores, it’s safe to say that someone you know will have that exact same piece hanging in their own house.
At thrift stores, you have a higher chance of scoring some unique prints. You can create a fantastic gallery wall with thrift store paintings that will be sure to start a conversation.
Glassware
The thrift store should be your go-to place when shopping for glassware, whether it’s wine glasses, tumblers, or water goblets.
Glass is timeless, easy to clean, and abundant in thrift stores. People are always donating wonderful treasures. Look for complete matching sets and always grab an extra glass or two in case one breaks unexpectedly.
