TJ Maxx is a great place to shop when initially decorating a home, decorating for a holiday, or spicing up an already decorated room. The store offers home decor staples at a reasonable price. However, not all items at TJ Maxx are worth buying. Some items can look inexpensive and cheapen the look of your house or room. Be sure to check out the dos and don’ts of TJ Maxx home accents before you start shopping!

Mirrors

The mirror section is a great place to start at TJ Maxx. Mirrors can make a small room appear both brighter and bigger, as they reflect the other items in the room. Consider using a mirror in any small room. Try to avoid small floor-length mirrors, as these may come across as inexpensive. Instead, look for tall, wide, or cute framed mirrors when at TJ Maxx.

Picture Frames

Picture frames are another plentiful decor item at TJ Maxx. The key to buying sophisticated picture frames is to make sure they are metal or wooden. Organic materials tend to look more expensive than plastic. Additionally, make sure the frames you pick have a matte for the picture you’re going to be putting in the frame. Frames that come with a matte tend to make your picture displays look more elevated and upscale.

Seasonal Decor

TJ Maxx is also a great place to shop for seasonal decor. However, anything plastic, or items that light up, tends to look inexpensive. When shopping for seasonal decor, try to opt for organic materials, like wood, metals, or clay/ceramics. Additionally, be cautious when buying items with text or labels on them (for example, Rea Dunn items). They can often look more inexpensive than intended.

Rugs

TJ Maxx is a smart place to buy rugs on a budget as well. Rugs are an awesome accessory to set the tone for the whole room! Cozy, classy, edgy, modern, cottage core – you name your style and TJ Maxx will likely have a rug that goes with it. Rugs are also a good transitional item. They can help provide a seamless transition from room to room. 

Candles

Another great way to add a cozy feel to any room is with candles. TJ Maxx is a fun place to shop for affordable candles. They have them in nearly every shape, size, and color imaginable to fit the style of any room. They also add a sense of warmth in a cool room.

Throw Pillows & Blankets

Throw pillows and throw blankets are cozy accents for any room, and they are always plentiful at TJ Maxx. In an effort to buy things that look sophisticated, opt for woven and knit blanket fabrics. Fleece and blankets with printed patterns can cheapen the look of a room. 

Similarly, throw pillows with inserts are another stylish home accent that you can find at TJ Maxx. These pillows are versatile and can be interchanged each season to amplify seasonal decor.
