What to Get
1. Ribbons for DIY Projects
Ribbons are essential for various DIY projects like hand-decorated lampshades. Dollar Tree offers an extensive ribbon collection, making it easy to find the perfect color and size for your next project with a bit of rummaging.
2. Clear Glass Vases
Simple, clear-glass vases are timeless and versatile, instantly elevating any space. Dollar Tree’s selection of clear-glass vases complements most decor styles and pairs beautifully with fresh flowers for a chic look.
3. Office Supplies
Dollar Tree carries a wide range of office supplies, including notebooks, planners, and pens. Opt for solid-colored notebooks that coordinate easily with your decor for a timeless aesthetic.
4. Command Strips for Wall Art
Command strips are perfect for hanging wall art without causing damage, making them ideal for renters or those who prefer non-permanent changes. Dollar Tree offers various options, including adhesive strips and hooks, to suit different needs.
What to Skip
1. Faux Flowers
While tempting, faux flowers from Dollar Tree can look tacky and cheapen a home’s aesthetic. Instead, consider affordable alternatives like plants or dried flowers for a more sophisticated look.
2. Plastic Organizers
Brightly colored plastic organizers may seem practical, but they can detract from a space’s appeal. Opt for clear or natural-wood bins for a more elevated organizational solution.
3. Picture Frames
Dollar Tree’s picture frames may lack the quality and durability needed to enhance a space. Consider investing in higher-quality frames from antique markets or online platforms for a better aesthetic impact.
4. Decor with Quotes
Decor items featuring cliché quotes like “home sweet home” can appear cheap and cluttered. Invest in timeless decor pieces that evoke a cozy atmosphere without resorting to clichés.
5. Towels
While Dollar Tree’s towels may be budget-friendly, they often lack quality and durability. Look for towels with sturdy stitching and high-quality materials from retailers like Ikea or HomeSense for better longevity.
