Hi! What do you think about an online-only home decor retailer that has been selling good quality, affordable products under the radar for years? was done It’s happening. It’s about time we all had a serious discussion about H&M Home. I mean… there’s something going on over there. Is it witchcraft? Magic? I don’t know! But it’s certainly one of my go-to sources for budget-friendly gifts, chic lamps, cheap but durable porcelain tableware, modernist planters, graphic vases and trays, and more… you get the idea. This has been one of my secret sources for years, knowledge imparted to me by Julie, who incorporated H&M pieces into her bedroom makeover, and is excited to share the word.
But before we get started, a few caveats to the class. Throughout the post, I recommend some small business alternatives to the pieces I’ve shared here. If your budget allows, go for it. Some of you aren’t quite there yet, and that’s okay. We have H&M Home to decorate our homes. By the way, H&M lists the materials and sourcing details we used in this class. Each and every piece Here they are, a true blessing. The older I get, the more I prioritize learning about the people who make the things I use. (Wow, this isn’t even a sponsored post, but it sure does sound like one. H&M, can you see what I’m saying about you?!) Now, on to the products…

Angled Metal Table Lamp ($67.99) | Organic Modern Lamp ($101)
