If you’re a savvy HomeGoods and TJMaxx shopper, it’s time to add Homesense to your home decor arsenal. Homesense is a discount home furnishing store that offers more large-scale furniture, area rugs, lighting, wall art, and mirrors than other TJX brands. With hundreds of pieces arriving daily each week, you’re bound to find something perfect for your style. We spoke to Homesense expert Cassady Smith about some of the key ways Homesense can make decorating your outdoor spaces a cinch this summer.
With summer well underway, there’s no better time to shop for your entertaining essentials for both your indoor and outdoor spaces. There are dozens of summer trends to keep in mind when shopping for your home.
“I’ve noticed that Homesense is always filled with items that are currently trending,” says Cassady Smith, Homsense expert. “As soon as you walk into a store you are able to see that they have lots of varying styles of home decor but are always showcasing those trending items which makes it easy to shop for those who are looking for help along the way.”
With a variety of decor styles in-store, it’ll be easy to find exactly what you’re looking for—and even the things you didn’t know you needed until you laid eyes on them.
And for our vintage lovers, there’s a place for you too! Smith decorates with vintage and traditional pieces in mind. While this isn’t the kind of place you’d first consider for vintage finds, you’re sure to find something vintage-inspired while browsing their aisles.
“I love that I can always find items that favor those styles at Homesense.”
Smith loves the lighting section at Homesense because of the varied options that are well-stocked and frequently rotated in the store. But if you have all the lighting you need and don’t want to totally redo your outdoor spaces, Homesense makes it easy to find those must-have essentials and finishing touches in their stores.
“You can basically find anything you would need to create an entire outdoor space, or even just refresh your existing outdoor space with new planters, pillows, and even dinnerware.”
There’s no need to stray away from shopping for larger items in-store. Homesense has delivery options available at most stores—you can have your furniture safely nestled into your outdoor space as soon as the same day.
Having a goal in mind when decorating any space is key but if you don’t know where to start, keep contrast in mind. Taking inspiration from different styles and combining them in a cohesive way makes for a beautifully eclectic entertaining space that your guests are sure to want to return to.
“Focusing on contrast between styles, textures, colors, or even old & new items is the perfect way to create a beautifully layered space that will be sure to make you smile,” Smith says.
