Decorating an apartment is a heavy-duty investment, and that sometimes means making difficult decisions. Do you pick art over, say, something to sit on? But you can avoid the dreaded minimal/too-broke-to-decorate look with a little help from Wonting NYC. Made with the Japanese technique of gocco, these prints—of squirrels, flowers, candy pencils, and more—add a bit of soft color to your walls. They come in both five by seven and eight by ten inches, so you can frame a few favorites and display them in clusters. And they cost less than dinner, so you'll have of plenty cash leftover for a new sofa.

$12 for small and $20 for large at WontingNYC.com
