Who says you have to plunk down a million bucks to snag a decent design find? Thanks to some carefully chosen resources—hello, CB2 and Nate Berkus for Target—high-style can be scored for relatively low-cost. Here are five of our favorite recent finds—all featuring bright hues, bold graphics, and playful sensibilities.
1) Kate Spade Saturday Outdoor Tray, $20
Perfect for picnics, this durable melamine tray boasts a bold graphic pattern guaranteed to spruce up any spread.
2) CB2 Stella Cabinet, $399
While, sure, this one’s a bit more of a splurge, CB2’s boldly striped cabinet still gets the thumbs up for combining form, function, and lots of fun—at a price that’s way less than what we’ve spotted elsewhere.
3) Swimming Pool photo by Lucy Snowe Photography, $20-$85
So summery! Etsy ranks as one of our favorite resources for tracking down affordable art, and we especially love Lucy Snowe’s minimalist photography.
4) Ikea Stockholm chair, $119
We’re big fans of the most recent release from Ikea’s upscale Stockholm collection, which offers midcentury-inspired items with a emphasis on conscious design and subtle organic influences—including the brilliant green of this wooden chair.
5) Nate Berkus for Target pillow, $21.24
It’s a trendy triple threat: Punchy brights, metallics and geometric. Nate Berkus’s throw pillow manages to cash in on several right-now looks without breaking the bank.
