The Best Under-$100 New Target Home Arrivals—Shop Decor, Rugs, and More

My best friend has impeccable taste. Her mid-century modern home is decorated to the nines in a sleek style that I’m trying to emulate in my own space. I love how she chooses bold-colored rugs with geometric shapes and incorporates furniture with different textures, like chrome and leather or wood and steel. Then, she tops everything off with Art Deco-inspired accessories to tie it all together, creating a cozy feel. 

When I heard Target just launched its new home arrivals, I set out on a mission to update a neglected corner of my house. My vision is to convert it to 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 area rug for added pop. Check them out below, as well as some other newly-launched Target home items.

Best New Home Arrivals at Target Under $100

Room Essentials Sling Dorm Chair

Every reading nook needs a cozy place to land, and this sling-back dorm chair offers an inexpensive way to elevate that space. The upholstered faux leather and steel frame lends clean lines, perfect for mid-century styling. And the neutral color pairs well with a bright rug. Plus, the textured padding adds focal interest. Better yet, you can fold and stow this chair when it’s not in use! If you have a teenager headed off to college, this piece will look great in their dorm room, too. 

Room Essentials 4’x5’6″ Washable Hello Sunshine Printed Area Rug

This printed area rug will make any dark, neglected corner shine like the sun. At 4 by 5 feet, it’s the perfect size for delegating a dedicated chill space. The geometric design is another hallmark of mid-century styling, and—bonus—this low-pile, fade-resistant rug is washable and can even be thrown in the dryer! (So, don’t worry about Fido’s muddy paws). The skid-resistant back ensures the rug stays in place without an added rug pad, too. Pair it with neutral-colored furniture and colorful accessories to tie the space together. 

Room Essentials Checkerboard Textured Plush Square Throw Pillow

Whether or not you’re going for mid-century styling, everyone loves plush throw pillows. This cozy option boasts a faux-fur exterior and a polyester-padded interior for maximum comfort. The solid checkerboard pattern makes it stand apart from your traditional shag throw pillow. Pair it with another plush pillow in a contrasting color or pattern, and then add it as a backrest to a chair, couch, or bed. This pillow is Oeko-Tex certified as well, assuring you it’s free of harmful substances and safe for use by the entire family. 

Room Essentials Paper Lantern Table Lamp

I know I’m going to love the subtle light this paper lantern emits, making it perfect for adding interest to a reading corner or living room. This accessory differs from your traditional table lamp with its natural wood feet and cylindrical shade, a combination that brings subtle texture to a room. The lantern is lightweight, weighing only 1.8 pounds, so it won’t overpower a small coffee table. And, it comes with a 5-foot cord that easily stashes behind a sofa or bookcase, should you need to light a space farther away.
