“If you know me, you know I’m very anti overhead light, so, I’m always collecting lamps to place throughout my home for both illumination purposes and mood lighting. This little mushroom-like metal desk lamp is petite enough to not take up too much counter space and the perfect size to sit on top of a stack of books. I prefer the white option, but it always comes in 5 different colorways including a really great dusty pink that would look so sweet in a bathroom — and at over 40% off, I may just grab a few.” —Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager

“I feel like console tables are so overlooked, but they’re often the first thing guests see when they walk into your home, plus they can be so multifunctional — I actually use a console table as a desk because the slim silhouette fits my space better. This wooden option is over 60% off and SO chic. The walnut stain is warm and inviting, and the rounded shape is whimsical and modern without being trendy. Stack it high with coffee table books, set a mirror and lamp on top, use it in a bedroom as a place to set your TV, the options are endless!” —Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager

“I’m a spice fiend and somehow always end up with bottles of novelty seasoning on my travels, so finding kitchen counter space that hasn’t been completely taken over by my ever expanding collection has been a struggle. I wanted a sleek, practical and sturdy spice rack for my tiny cooking space, and this wall-mounted spice rack checks all the boxes. I plan on attaching this to the side of my fridge to maximize as much vertical real estate as possible.” —Venus Wong, Senior Affiliate Writer

“As the weather gets warmer, I have been reaching for sateen bedding to feel more comfortable at night – and have been completely enamored by this beautiful set with 200 thread count. The 100% pure cotton fabric is so smooth to the touch and so temperature-regulating, so you feel cooler if you sleep hot, but it will also retain warmth if you tend to get cold at night. The blue floral print is so chic, and will make a really thoughtful housewarming or birthday gift too.” —Venus Wong, Senior Affiliate Writer

“There’s something about changing a light fixture that can instantly transform a place. My plan this summer is to remove my boring ceiling light and replace it with this lightweight three-light raffia chandelier. I’m hoping the switch will give my apartment major Cape Cod vibes while the black iron-wrought hardware will pair nicely with my exposed brick wall.” —Carli Whitwell, Senior Director of Editorial

“It’s not that I don’t love my current, very cute couch — I do. The sad part is that it doesn’t love me back. After almost a year of struggling with an achy back and numb butt, I think Way Day might be the perfect time for an upgrade. This top-reviewed (and v. stylish) sofa is almost half-off, making it a total no-brainer.” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate

“Desks take up so much space for someone who needs a large area for knickknacks and trinkets. Enter the solution: a leaning ladder desk that has vertical space. I also like how this ladder also has a drawer to hide all my unaesthetic desk supplies.” —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

“My little sisters are about to move into their first apartment post-college, so I’ve been scouring the internet to help them fill their space. They have a much more vibrant aesthetic than I do, so it’s been a fun challenge stepping outside out my normal comfort zone. This geometric multi-colored runner will be such a great statement in their white-walled hallway and I can see it paired with a lucite entryway table and a big mirror.” —Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager

“Anyone who knows me knows that my biggest toxic trait (jk, sort of) is that I’m the worst at decorating my apartment. Whether I’ve lived there for two months or two years, the effect is the same: Bare walls begging for framed art and photos and vast, unused corners craving for beauty — or, at the very least, a potted plant. In an attempt to spruce up my space, I’m in the market for some affordable art that suits my minimal taste. This triptych of vibe-y, monochrome abstract drawings is just what I need!” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate

“I haven’t replaced my bedroom rug in longer than I’d care to admit, so I’ll be upgrading my space with this cozy, woven cream area rug. I don’t like a ton of color in my home, so this is right up my alley — and I’m already dreaming of how nice the texture will feel on my bare feet. (#noshoesinside!) Plus, at almost 76% off (!) I feel like I’m basically making a profit, right?” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate

“Area rugs are a bit like phone cases in that they have the ability to transform your room into something that feels totally brand new. I’ve been feeling a little bored with my current living room vibe, so a monochromatic dark rug with a funky geometric motif is just the thing to breathe new life into my home. (I immediately gravitated towards this black colorway — it’s giving industrial SoHo-loft vibes, right?) According to reviews, it’s easy to clean and is comfy under bare feet. Into the cart it goes!” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate

“Can you ever have too many decorative pillows? I think not. I love these extra-fluffy throws for adding a dose of cozy to any space.

“There’s nothing quite like the feeling of settling into a cozy bed of plush linen after a long day. I already own a set of linen bedding, but I am planning to upgrade my duvet cover with this beautiful set that’s currently 53% off. (Also, everyone knows that linen is the best for keeping you cool and breezy in bed — even if you’re a hot sleeper.) Another major plus: Linen softens up with continued use, making it feel even better than when it’s brand new. Much like wine and vintage clothes, some things only improve with age.” —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate

“Why do I love this mirror? Because it looks like something Snow White would own — if she lived in a cute one-bedroom in Bed-Stuy. The frame is a sturdy wood but it’s deliciously affordable and it comes in seven different colors. I’m partial to the gold, which will complement my exposed brick, and the new raffia ceiling light I also intend to purchase at this sale.” —Carli Whitwell, Senior Director of Editorial

As women who go out a lot to events, conferences, and dinners, we always do a final mirror check before heading out and this round flat mirror would be perfect so that we don’t have to wear our shoes further inside the house to the mirrors in our rooms.” —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

The cherry wood will also complement my apartment decor wonderfully.” —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

“Olive green is one of my all-time favorite colors for home decor and furniture, something about it is very warm and homey yet luxe, which is my dream home aesthetic. I love love love this olive green velvet storage bench because I always have dog gear that I need to keep near the door but no designated storage location. In addition to a storage space, this will be a great entrance bench for guests to sit down on to take their shoes off (of course I’m a shoes-off household, who wants NYC streets in their home?).” —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

“A lot of outdoor furniture looks very outdoorsy, but I’m in search of something that’s not too rugged or synthetic and feels like cool living room seating that just happens to exist on my back patio. Good news: I think I’ve found it in the form of this acacia wood set. The seating’s minimal lines give the set a vaguely midcentury feel, and I love the rounded shape of the low coffee table. With a loveseat and two individual armchairs, the group allows for customization in a smaller outdoor space, and the overstuffed pillows look really comfortable.” —Emily Ruane, Former Managing Editor

“Using the right knife for a task is indeed important, take it from someone who formerly backward-underhand-cut like one of our favorite modeling celebs. Since getting a knife set, my cooking journey has been a whole lot smoother — pun very much intended. Food glides off the knife, whether it’s bread with the bread knife, onions with the Santoku knife, or steak with the chef’s knife. Also don’t forget to invest in a knife sharpener to keep them in tip-top shape. An unkept tool yields mediocre (and unsafe!) results.” —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator
