Maybe you’re just starting out, with a new job and a new apartment — or maybe you’re not. Either way, like many people, you may be on a tight budget, with little left over for decorating. And as Maxwell Ryan, the founder of Apartment Therapy, noted, it’s not just about saving money: Vintage pieces add character to your space. “I also like to save corks and put them in a bowl.”When it comes to glasses and dinnerware, Mr. Ryan advised keeping it simple. Start with essential furnishings for where you will sleep, eat and sit; side tables, credenzas and curtains can all come later.
