NYC Facebook Marketplace Roundup: Spring Refresh Lighting & Storage
Share
Spring is slowly approaching (even if it still feels like winter half the time), and that means it’s time to swap out the dull, the drab, and the why do I still own this furniture for pieces that actually bring some joy. This week’s Facebook Marketplace roundup is all about lighting and storage—because in NYC, you can never have enough of either.
1. IKEA Butter Yellow Glass Cabinet
Butter yellow is the trending color for spring, and this cabinet makes a solid case for why. The soft hue adds warmth to any space, while the glass doors force you to finally commit to a storage system that isn’t just “shove everything in and pray.” It’s a little vintage-inspired, a little modern, and the perfect excuse to reorganize your apartment.
2. Kartell Componibili Storage Unit (Desert Sage & Vanilla Cream)
This isn’t just a side table; it’s design history. Originally created in 1969, the Componibili Storage Unit is an Italian classic—modular, playful, and ready to hide all your miscellaneous junk behind its smooth sliding doors. This pink-and-green combo is a fresh take on the original, perfect for adding a bit of whimsy to your apartment.
3. Handmade in NYC Orange Wrap Lamp
Handmade by Brooklyn-based @wabiliworkshop, this sculptural lamp is basically functional art. The textured wrap design adds instant character, and if you’re feeling crafty, Wabili actually offers DIY classes so you can make your own version. Who needs another mass-produced table lamp when you can have something this fun and locally made?
4. Tulip Matcha Chandelier
If your overhead lighting consists of a single sad boob light, it’s time for an upgrade. This tulip-inspired chandelier brings a soft, organic feel to any room, with a matcha-green finish that’s neutral enough to work with different aesthetics. Think Parisian apartment meets spring garden party—but in your fourth-floor walkup.
5. IKEA Tesammans Cart
Storage that moves? Genius. This Tesammans rolling cart is ideal for NYC living—use it as a bar cart, an extra nightstand, or a spot to store all those fancy candles you swear you’ll light one day. The Poppi Red, Bubblegum Pink, and Mustard colorway makes it a statement piece, while the compact size means it fits even in the most efficiently sized apartments.
Spring is all about fresh starts, and what better way to kick off the season than with a few fun, functional pieces? Happy Marketplace hunting—may your messages be answered and your pickups be miraculously within a five-block radius.
