This Walmart furniture made my apartment a boho oasis

Living in a big city as a 20-year-old now means a lot of experience in an apartment and I have a lot. From a contemporary four-bedroom during the college years to a historic old Hollywood one bed for myself, I took a few big lessons away: Find out your design style and get as much as possible.

After years of experimenting, I found that I prefer a colorful versatile aesthetics with a touch of boho and natural elements: wood tones, metallic accents, brave works of art and books everywhere. When I undertook to slowly decorate my apartment, I immediately thought about the furniture – and the “Better Homes & Garden in Walmart” collection was one of the first places I had checked out. After dug a little, I knew that the Papasan chair and the bedside tables of Julia fit my style and at the same time made my room as cozy and uneven as possible.

The furniture arrived quickly (always the most exciting notification), and I effortlessly put together the chair. It is quite spacious and ensures a statement in which you can roll together for hours. The pillow is thick and soft (I went with the Bouclé fabric, but there are also linen and teddy bear -fleece), and the rattan stand feels robust and fits any other natural element in my living room. I have set it up next to a corner that offers a collection of plants and my turntable next to my couch to offer a session option for discussions when guests come by.

As soon as my living room was set, I went to the bedside tables (I got two so that I could create a balanced look in my bedroom). When I looked at the instructions, I decided to tackle her from my resident professional craftsman (also known as my friend). It was definitely more of a involved process than the chair. After completing the first stand with the tools provided, he used a power supply to put together the second, which he said was much faster. If you are more of a beginner builder, like me, I would recommend help and a tool kit for setting up this piece.

After the meeting, I was pleased that the bedside tables were everything I had imagined – especially in terms of functionality. The drawers are deep, and the open shelf in the underside enables them to display larger objects and at the same time to organize them. You also have an integrated USB connection, so you can easily charge your phone overnight while you keep your wires hidden.

With regard to the design, the waterfall look of the bedside tables fits today's obsession from modern middle of the century, and the curved effect makes the room so much softer and more relaxed. They consist of technical wood and are firm and heavy. I went with the warm, bright honey color, but they are also available in rich black.
