Target’s Best New Home Items Under $100 – Shop Decor, Rugs and More

My best friend has impeccable taste. Her mid-century modern home is decorated down to the last detail in an elegant style that I try to emulate in my own home. I love how she chooses boldly colored rugs with geometric shapes and incorporates furniture with different textures, like chrome and leather or wood and steel. Then she tops it all off with Art Deco-inspired accessories to tie everything together and create a cozy atmosphere.

When I heard that Target just launched their new home accessories, I set out to renovate a neglected corner of my house. My vision is to transform it into a cozy reading nook where I can curl up with a good book or stream a show on my laptop. My picks so far are well under $100 and include a chic chair, a paper lantern table lamp, and a printed rug for extra oomph. Check them out below, as well as some other newly launched home items from Target.

Best New Home Arrivals at Target Under $100

Room Essentials Sling Dorm Chair

Every reading nook needs a cozy place to relax, and this sling-back dorm chair offers an inexpensive way to upgrade that space. The padded faux leather and steel frame create clean lines, perfect for mid-century style. And the neutral color pairs well with a light rug. Plus, the textured upholstery adds a focal point. And even better, you can fold this chair up and store it away when it’s not in use! If you have a teen heading off to college, this piece will look great in their dorm room, too.

Room Essentials – Hello Sunshine Washable Rug, 1.22 x 1.68 m

This printed rug will make any dark, neglected corner shine like the sun. At 4′ x 5′, it’s the perfect size to create your own chill area. The geometric design is another hallmark of mid-century style, and—as a bonus—this short-pile, fade-resistant rug is washable and can even be thrown in the dryer! (So no need to worry about Fido’s muddy paws). The non-slip backing ensures the rug stays in place even without an additional rug pad. Pair it with neutral-colored furniture and colorful accessories to tie the room together.

Room Essentials – Checkerboard Square Plush Throw Pillow

Whether you’re into mid-century style or not, everyone loves plush sofa cushions. This cozy option features a faux fur exterior and polyester padding for maximum comfort. The solid checkerboard pattern sets it apart from your traditional shag sofa cushion. Pair it with another plush cushion in a contrasting color or pattern, then use it as a backrest for a chair, sofa, or bed. This cushion is also Oeko-Tex certified, so you can rest assured that it’s free from harmful substances and safe for the whole family.

Room Essentials – Table lamp with paper lantern

I know I’ll love the subtle light this paper lantern gives off. It’s perfect for adding interest to a reading nook or living room. This accessory differs from a traditional table lamp with its natural wood feet and cylindrical shade, a combination that adds subtle structure to a room. The lantern is lightweight, weighing just 1.8 pounds, so it won’t overwhelm a small coffee table. And it comes with a 5-foot cord that’s easy to tuck behind a sofa or bookshelf in case you need to light a farther area.
