It’s no secret that the cost of living is sky-high in New York. Even if you’re lucky enough to find an affordable place that’s not a half-hour walk from the subway or a windowless basement room, your work isn’t done yet. You still have to haul all your stuff to your new pad and set up a place to lay your head.

And if you don’t have any furniture, you’ll have to get some.

If the thought of dropping several thousand dollars on a bed, sofa and dinette set have your heart doing flip-flops, don’t worry. With apologies to the Martha Stewarts of the world, there’s no rule that says you have to buy brand new furniture for your space to get a great look.
