As July rolls around, eager college freshmen start the hunt for the perfect dorm furniture and stock up on supplies for the first year of their adulthood. For the rest of us, this time of year also has its perks! Stores offer amazing deals and bring out the finest in fall selections. You may be thinking “I’m barely ready for my party on the 4th!” But, now is the time to think about projects you’d like to finish this summer and work on through the fall. For those parents with college-ready kids, students look for high-style pieces that will make a statement, while you look for the most affordable and durable products. Fortunately, Target resolves all of these problems by delivering on-trend and exclusive products at a low cost. With an array of furniture with bright pops of color and nifty storage and supplies, you’ll be celebrating the start of the school year in more ways than one.
