8 Great Under-$20 Zara Home Gems to Make Your Place Feel So Put Together

When it comes to budget shopping, I'd like to think of myself as something of an expert. I adore thrift stores and flea markets, and wandering through a HomeGoods sparks immeasurable joy. I regularly peruse H&M’s online home section, and I’m no stranger to the joys of Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

So, when I stumbled upon a Zara Home store in Spain a few summers ago, my mind was blown. As someone familiar with the fast fashion brand, I was shocked I didn’t know it had an entire home line. Like Zara's clothing offerings, the decor and furniture collections are reasonably priced and speak to current trends.

Though my apartment is pretty much done and furnished, I’m always looking for new pieces to make my space stand out. From bathroom essentials to decorative items, here are eight of Zara Home’s best pieces—and they’re each less than $20.
