Modern by Dwell at Target Makes Good Design Accessible

Have you ever been intimidated by design?

Sure, we want our homes and offices to look nice and reflect our personalities, but actually shopping for furniture and items to decorate our environments can be a bit daunting. Items can be expensive and inaccessible, especially if you’re not living in a major city. Target changed all that with the Modern by Dwell collection, which is in stores now.

Modern by Dwell makes design more accessible and affordable. Who says you have to walk into a high-end design dealer’s space to get a contemporary look that rivals with those you that you see in the pages of design magazines? Now you can simply walk into your closest Target or shop online. The prices are easy on your wallet; furniture ranges from $49.99 to $399.99, and décor, tabletop and accessories run from $16.99 to $99.99.

“We spend a lot of time getting to know our guests, even spending time with them in their own homes,” said Mark Tritton, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer at Target. “Many of our guests have told us they want to add a modern aesthetic into their environment, but they want it to be easy and, just as important, affordable. That’s a challenge we were happy to accept. With our friends at Dwell Magazine, we’ve created a line that captures modernism beautifully. The collection is a great complement to our current assortment – it’s stylish, high quality and the prices are great. I know our guests are going to love it.”

“We’ve long admired Target for how they embrace good design and cultivate unique partnerships, so we’re thrilled to work together on introducing this new collection,” said Chris Deam and Nick Dine, Co-Creative Directors of Product Design, Dwell. “With Modern by Dwell Magazine, we’re excited to introduce modern design to more people than ever.”

The fusion of one of design’s top magazines with Target’s stylish accessibility makes so much sense. Now we can find sleek side tables, minimal chairs, graphic rugs and more at a reasonable price point and an approachable retailer.

Discover the best Disney+ movies to watch this March
If you're a Disney+ member, stream these movies this month
Princess Bride

Disney is arguably the most iconic entertainment brand in the world. The company's properties, both original and acquired, combine to produce content that transcends age demographics. Disney has built a brand that's beloved by children, and those children eventually age into adults who introduce their kids to the films they loved when they were young. Disney's animation alone has made it iconic, but in recent years, the company has also acquired some of the biggest pieces of intellectual property there are. And with Disney Plus available on any device, you can watch all these movies whenever you want.

Between its acquisitions of both Marvel and Star Wars, there's a good chance that Disney is shepherding whatever you love to screens, both large and small. When it launched Disney+, the company was sure to fill it with both those nostalgic animated classics and plenty of new stuff as well. If, like me, you've ever felt a twinge of nostalgia for the Disney movies you loved as a kid, they're all there. Just as importantly, though, you can find movies that will resonate with you today in ways they didn't as a kid. Whatever you're looking for, you can probably find it on Disney+.

Having a vast library of good television shows and films is the most important factor in the success of a streaming service. That's part of what transformed Netflix into a global phenomenon, and it's why services like Paramount Plus have worked hard to build a healthy library of series that subscribers can browse through. As is the case with all streaming services, Paramount+ has a mix of original series that live only on the platform and older shows that were originally on broadcast and have now found a home on streaming.
Although these shows have varied histories, each one of them is a great staple in Paramount Plus's overall streaming library. Paramount+ might not seem like it has the kind of depth or variety that someplace like Netflix does, but trust me, once you dive in, you'll find that there are plenty of shows to watch and love.

Disney Plus has finally created a competitive library of original series that can compete with other services like Netflix and Max. It's also a treasure trove of Disney nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the '90s and early 2000s. On top of all that, the streamer has released a few of the most popular TV series to come out in recent years, and those series, on top of the deep catalog, make a Disney+ subscription worthwhile.

The streaming service is, at the end of the day, still a streaming service. As a Disney fan myself, though, it can be hard not to get swept up in the magic that the service contains. Disney is an old-fashioned dream factory, and Disney+ is home to many of those dreams.
