The Dollar Tree has great items that can make your home look better. Read on for a few of my favorite items.
Decorating a house can do a number on your bank account. But, the good news is, you can make your space really pretty without going into credit card debt — especially if you know where to shop.
The Dollar Tree is actually a surprisingly great place to buy items for the home, as you can get many attractive decor items for the low bargain price of just $1.25. Here are five Dollar Tree deals that could spruce up your place without busting your budget.
1. Dishware
The Dollar Tree has a surprisingly great selection of dishes and glasses that look comparable to what you’d find at stores charging you far more. In fact, I have bought dishes for every season at the Dollar Tree, including lemon plates for spring, holiday plates for winter, and floral plates for summer.
You can get patterned dishes, colorful dishes, or plain classic solid colors. You can also buy large plates, small plates, and bowls so you can put together a full service for six, eight, or 12 people. We leave our dining table set with our pretty Dollar Tree dishes year-round so whenever we walk in the dining room, it looks festive.
2. Vases
The Dollar Tree also has an awesome vase selection, including clear, patterned, and colorful vases. These items look amazing with fresh-cut flowers (or even silk flowers if you have allergies or aren’t inclined to buy live ones regularly). You can adorn a hall table or your kitchen island with them to bring some of the outside in and put a smile on your face.
3. Picture frames
Framing pictures can be really expensive if you buy decorator frames in department or craft stores. But, the Dollar Tree has you covered. There are wall and tabletop frames in all shapes, sizes, and colors. There are even specialty frames if you want to make collages, and theme frames for things like pet or baby pictures.
I have a full sofa table and several mantels in my house full of family pictures with Dollar Tree frames, and I’ve also framed art prints with their wall frames — all of which look awesome.
4. Holiday decor
Decorating for each festive occasion can be a ton of fun, especially if you have kids. The great news is, going overboard with holiday decor in your home hardly costs anything with the Dollar Tree deals available.
There are tabletop decorations and signs for even the more minor holidays, like St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and the Fourth of July. Pick up some to put around your house so you always have fresh new decor that matches the latest celebratory event. This month, your options include some balloons and wall decorations that celebrate Pride.
5. Candles
Candles can make your home look more cozy and can even make it smell better if you opt for scented options. While some name-brand candles cost upwards of $20, the Dollar Tree has a great selection for $1.25. You can find pillar candles, scented candles, and even flameless candles in an assortment of sizes and colors.
These are just some of the great Dollar Tree deals you can find to make your home prettier. By thinking outside the box and exploring dollar stores for home decor items, you can make your space look awesome and still have plenty of money left for other goals.
