Let’s face it. If you’re concerned with the interior design of your home, you probably aren’t in school. That doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the thrill of back to school promotions, the notion of starting fresh and rejuvenating your personal style.

Instead of living in denial of summer’s impending end, grab the bull by the horns and start planning for the transition. Get excited by the prospect of autumn foliage, spending more time indoors baking and reading—and even partaking in life’s most basic pleasures, like PSL’s (pumpkin spice lattes).

Here are a few of the perks of experiencing “back to school shopping” as an adult.

Not only do you have your own credit card now, shopping has become more convenient than ever (dangerously so) with the rise of eCommerce. In 2018, eCommerce sales grew 15% in the US alone, according to Digital Commerce.

While some of us miss the in-store experience, the benefit of online shopping is that you can find the trendiest items at the lowest possible price point. Plus, if you’re shopping your designer curated list with Havenly, you can rest assured that Havenly will honor the best price available.

School, work, tomayto, tomahto. It doesn’t matter if you’re packing a lunchable and hopping on the school but or sipping coffee and reading the news—it helps to start fall off feeling fresh.

Whether you work from home full-time, or just crave a dedicated space for your personal hobbies, draw inspiration from the changing seasons. Try hanging two or three floating shelves in your home office for more storage space. Shelves are the perfect spot for personal mementos such as picture frames, books and succulents.

Splurge on a fall inspired office chair like CB2’s Channel Suede Office chair, or a shiny new desk like the Anthropologie’s Odetta desk. Explore other office products that will breath new life into your workspace or other rooms in your home here.

We may not be in school anymore, but the thrill of back to school shopping doesn’t have to end. Through August 21st, get up to 15% off select home office furniture and decor.
