These 15 Decor Items From The Home Depot Gave Me the Insta-Worthy First Apartment Of My Dreams

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Two weeks after graduation, I moved eight hours away from my hometown to New York City for my dream job. It was totally worth it, but people weren’t kidding about the whole “NYC is expensive” thing. I pay more than I’m willing to admit for a glorified dorm room, and since I spend most of my day working remotely from home, I wanted my space to be a sanctuary for work and sleep. The white walls, shabby floors, and exposed radiators just weren’t doing it for me, so I turned to The Home Depot’s massive online décor section to transform my space (without even having to leave my apartment). Here, the 15 items that will totally transform your space, too.
