The 6 Coziest Apartment Essentials I’ve Ever Splurged On

Whether you’re moving into your first dorm, first apartment, or are hopping from one studio to the next until you find your dream living space, you deserve to feel cozy and at home. Where we live is a reflection of us in so many ways, and there’s nothing like having your little nook or space where you feel your safest and most supported.

For me, that means blankets, tons of throw pillows, and lots of sunshine. But it also means not being afraid to save up to treat myself every so often (or maybe more than “so often,” because yes, I have an online shopping problem) so that my space feels fresh and ready for another Netflix binge or five straight hours of reading.

Here are some of my faves that were definitely worth the money.
