If a trip out to Ikea isn’t in the mix (and seriously, do you really want or need your place to look like its straight from a catalog?), stay a bit closer to home and head to MOE’S for some fresh findings. With two central locations (North Vancouver and Vancouver Terminal), MOE’S is a definite go-to for busy YPs in search of stylish items to spruce up their space. We ogled plenty of fine finds, punchy patterns and stunning (yet functional) pieces guaranteed to add life to your abode, starting with MOE’S selection of eye-catching and affordable accent pillows.
Tossing a few of these colourful gems into the decorative mix is the perfect way to spice up your place without blowing a seasonal budget. When we asked Sara Samieian, General Manager of MOE’S retail division, for her style take, she advised young professionals to embrace a mix and match attitude with pillows to add an extra bit of interest.
If you’re saving up to splurge on one big-ticket statement piece for your place but still trying to avoid an overdraw charge, splurging on style doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank.
Samieian suggests YPs aim to add a splash of personality to the home space with one of MOE’S exclusive hand-knotted area rugs – all under $1,100 each. It’s high design on a dime that you can roll up and take with you.
As is the case with pretty much every large Canadian city, condo living means space is at a premium with little space left over for accessories beyond essentials. That doesn’t mean you have to settle for dull décor – dress up your walls with accents that add that a little extra “oomph” to your abode. At MOE’S, we found plenty of that in the form of funky mirrors, faux taxidermy items, antique decorations and more.
Blowing your hard-earned pay cheque on a dining table can put your bank account in the red, but luckily their cost-effective little cousin, the coffee table, can reinvigorate your space. MOE’S assortment of tables offers a look guaranteed to suit any young professionals budget and style (well-priced at under $500 per piece too). Be it a contemporary look you’re after, something more rustic, or bare-bones raw, Samieain notes that “coffee tables are a decor element that often overlooked by novice decorators, but one that can completely change the feel of a space.”
