1. A teardrop lounge chair because your backyard deserves to look just as good as your living room. Don't you agree? This chair can become your corner reading destination or your garden throne. You decide.
Promising review: "I am in love with this beautiful chair! It came so fast and was so extremely easy to put together. The cushions provided are plump and comfortable and a great shade of eggshell white. I know this is technically an outdoor chair, but I loved it so much I kept it in my living room! I get so many compliments from friends when they come over, and everyone loves to sit in it, including my cat (see photo above). Highly, highly recommend!" —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $304.94.
2. A freestanding coat rack, a rustic addition to your entryway that's also practical. The pipe-inspired design is crafted with antique black metal and a distressed finish for a trendy piece that'll never be out of style.
3. A minimalist-meets-industrial bookshelf to display your books, plants, photos, and other knickknacks that might've looked like clutter on a dresser, but on this, c'est magnifique!
"I have two of these shelves in white/oak, and they're just what I was looking for. Sure, they're more expensive than the units you can get at Ikea, but you can tell the difference in quality. Last time my mom visited (oh, pre-quarantine life), she actually asked if they came with the apartment because they fit so well in my living room." —Chelsea Stuart, BuzzFeed editor
Promising review: "I love this shelf! I needed something tall to fill empty space and store books and plants. Each shelf is very heavy duty, so I can't imagine any bowing would occur in the future, unless it's got too much humidity. Before we put weight on the shelves, it had gaps between itself and the wall, but it balanced itself out after adding books. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shelf. It's definitely going to last longer than anything you could buy at Ikea, and it has VERY little wasted/unusable space. Just do it! I put it together myself, but I had to hold it steady/leveled while hubby secured it to the wall. It's not impossible to do alone, but get a second person to at least hold it still for you." —Mrs K3NNYB0Y
Get it from Amazon for $110.47+ (available in four sizes and 22 colors/finishes).
4. An ottoman bench you can use in your bedroom, living room, or walkway as a seat, a footrest, or a coffee table. What's cool about this one is that it opens to double as a storage solution.
Promising review: "I am just loving this wonderful storage ottoman and have to say I am blown away with how nice it is for the price. The velvet is soft and plush and the beautiful gray goes with any decor. I absolutely love this for putting at the end of a bed as you can sit on it and take your slippers off and it is super comfy for sitting BUT it can also be used solo on a wall for a sitting bench or anywhere you choose in your home. It makes a wonderful decor piece that also provides a seat and storage, so what more can you ask for?! I also love the easy to remove top that provides you a nice storage space for things like blankets and throws or you can store pictures and other items in there. Whatever you want. It just looks good. The legs also provide some style to the piece and putting it together was a snap. I just had to put the legs on using the tools they provide. Seriously...if I can do it anyone can. Great piece here and a great value, too. I highly recommend it." —Melissa Cushing
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
5. A rocket ship cat condo so ~out of this world~ it'll have your kitties over the moon with joy when they see it. They'll be gazing at you with stars in their eyes. Okay, enough with the puns 😂.
Promising review: "This is the best modern cat tree on the market! It’s fun to look at, as opposed to the outdated carpeted trees. The rocket is a conversation starter and my cats loved it right when I set it up. The plush pads provided are perfect for them to snooze on and the hanging balls provide hours of entertainment. I’m so glad I bought this for my kitties to enjoy! The manufacturing quality on it is very good. I was really impressed with how perfect each piece was and the instructions were very clear to follow. It did take a little over an hour to set up on my own; another pair of hands would help expedite it! I can’t say enough great things about it! You won’t be sad that you purchased it!!" —Birgitta
Get it from Amazon $184.99.
6. A cream bouclé rocking chair designed by Leanne Ford to add an oh-so-sleek statement chair to your nursery. The unique design of this chair ensures a timeless aesthetic that can grow with your child. Truthfully, you can place it any room.
This rocking chair elevates the traditional nursery staple and swaps it out with an ultra plush seat that prioritizes comfort. It's ergonomic design ensures that baby won't be the only one comfortable while walking. It has linen piping details with a pine and poplar wood frame. It's a built-to-last chair that can endure through multiple generations and while adorable in the nursery, can be equally as chic in any room.
Get it from Crate & Barrel for $999.
7. An asymmetrical ceramic table you can use as a nightstand in your bedroom or an end table in your living quarters. You could also place it in the center as a coffee table so all whom enter can admire it.
FYI — the top dips juuust a bit, so be careful when placing your glass of wine on it!
Promising review: "This is a great versatile piece. I settled on using it to fill an empty space next to my dresser, but it worked in pretty much any room I tried it in. Definitely has longevity to be used wherever you need an extra burst of fun!" —kay111
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $249 (available in three colors).
8. An Albany Park printed couch inspired by traditional West African wax prints that'll give your space a real pop of color and individual flare. People will think it's one-of-a-kind.
Ẹkáàbọ̀ means “Welcome Home” in Yoruba. "That was the first thing Darryl's (the founder) Nigerian friends said to him when he discovered his Nigerian ancestry," the site shares. "Those words inspired a collection that brought him closer to his ancestral homeland."
Promising review: "Our sofa is perfect. It came promptly, was easy to assemble, and the size is perfect for our space! It feels great to support an amazing Black-owned business that we believe in. This sofa is perfect. If you’re on the fence...do it!!" —Lauren

9. An upholstered panel headboard for a captivating centerpiece in your bedroom that'll instantly elevate the aesthetic.
Promising review: "It’s perfect! Arrived quickly and packaged well. It’s just as described. My husband made a French cleat so we could attach it to the wall (we have a moveable bed base). It’s the perfect size. I was wanting something that was high enough that our decorative pillows wouldn’t hide the whole headboard. The material and color are just what I was wanting. Very happy!" —Kassandra
Get it from Wayfair for $216.77+ (originally $407.77; available in three colors).
10. Or, a velvet headboard so you can feel as luxurious as Blanche Devereaux when she arrives home after a lovely evening with one of her special friends.
Promising review: "You know how you hate buying something online because you're not sure if it's going to be crap. Well let me tell you, this is one of the best purchases I've made. It's excellent quality. The foam is nice and plush and you can't feel the board. If you ever need to move, the whole thing folds in half and the legs and all the part fit in a zipper compartment in the back for easy transport. Would be perfect for some one who stages homes because of how portable it is but the quality is A+." —T. Sayer
Get it from Amazon for $223.32+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
11. A puffy velvet sofa — okay so technically it's by West Elm Kids, but you're as young as you feel. And, you'll definitely feel like curling up on this lifesize body pillowesque couch. It's super cute and takes lounging to a whole other level.
It's literally a giant bean bag fashioned into a super comfortable couch. It's low to the ground and compact, perfect for squeezing into tiny spaces. Plus, it's covered in durable fabric and requires zero assembly!
Get it from West Elm for $599+ (available in six colors).
12. A fluted side table with a minimal yet bold design that'll compliment the rest of your room decor while subtly standing out on its own. It's pretty dope TBH.

Get it from West Elm for $179.10+ (originally $199+; available in two sizes and four colors).
13. An arched cabinet, a decadent — splurge-worthy — piece just begging to be passed down from generation to generation. A soon-to-be antique as it ages in your home, you'll enjoy using it to hold and display your best dishes and wines. *gah* It's gorgeous!
Promising review: "Couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Not only is this piece absolutely beautiful in person but the quality is amazing. Definitely something that I will hold onto forever! Very very happy with my purchase. Worth every penny!" —Emel
Get it from Anthropologie for $2,498 (available in four colors).

Promising review: “Perfect desk! Great value! I’ve been looking for a desk to create a small office area in my bedroom. The color of this desk is gorgeous. Love the gold, bamboo-looking handles. Well-built and very sturdy. The drawers are nice and smooth. So happy with my purchase!” —Target reviewer
Get it from Target for $180.
15. A unique bookshelf you can use to display all of the books you want people to think you actually have time to read or your favorite DVD box sets.
Promising review: "What a gorgeous piece of practical and artistic furniture. I always seem to need bookshelves for my growing home library but didn’t want to just put a boxy bookcase against the limited wall space I have. This book tree is a fantastic solution. It allows me to display books in a unique manner. I can easily find the book I need. It was not difficult to assemble, and it took less than 20 minutes to have it installed." —Sunshine Mel
Get it from Amazon for $95.99.
16. An entry way organizer to clear up the "throw pile" where all your day-to-day belongings live and give you an extra place to add some new decor.
Promising review: "Love this thing! It fit perfectly with my decor. I always get compliments from people. So convenient for keys and jackets and purses and shoes. Just a nice entrance thing. Right now it's filled with BS but it's nicer when it's organized LOL." —Kasandra R.
Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
17. A set of traditional Louis XVI–style dining chairs in case you're looking for a stylish and upscale addition to your dining table that still has enough cushion to keep your tush cozy.
Promising review: "I love these chairs. Beautiful and such a fair price. I have a very white and neutral kitchen/sunroom with a little breakfast nook between...this fancied up that space, just as I’d hoped." —Mandy Leslie
Get them from Amazon for $278.08+ (available in eight colors and sets of two or four).
18. A cabriolet-inspired love seat that looks like it should be more expensive than it is, but — thankfully — it's not. Don't be surprised if guests wonder if you recently won the lottery or got really lucky at an estate sale.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this loveseat!!! I was so afraid to get something so rich in color, but it gets a ton of compliments, and it’s one of my favorite pieces!! Wayfair does a great job of giving you lots of photos to view ahead of your purchase, which is super helpful and usually very accurate!" —Michelle
Get it from Wayfair for $639.99+ (available in six colors/fabrics).
19. A modern TV console made to accommodate your entertainment storage needs — it comes with two drawers. You can also use it as a side table or coffee table, too!
Promising review: "This unit is very solid! All the directions are illustrated, and the parts are clearly numbered. It took two hours for me to assemble alone. I opted to use a hand drill instead of a screw driver and had no issue with over tightening or overpowering. There is only one poorly considered assembly step (tightening bottom screws near unit feet after feet are attached); the foot angle barely allows a screwdriver to sneak in to tighten screws). Drawers all installed perfectly flush and even. The unit has a wonderful matte finish, which is nicer than I expected. Wonderful value! Doesn't look as cheap as it is. Not as easy an an Ikea build, but definitely a one-person job, and the directions are clear enough! I chose this because it will hide cords and low lying outlet behind the drawers. The open space will hold our sound and cable box. Perfect bright accent for our dark media room!" —Stroodle
Get it from Amazon for $179.99.
20. A lush velvet sectional couch so your living room can transform into an Old Hollywood lounge. It's not only a comfy piece of furniture you can plop on after a long day, but it's a color POP that'll jolt some sass into your space, effortlessly.
Promising review: "I am in love. Two kids, two dogs, and the fabric is AMAZING. Make sure you Scotchgard to be able to wipe clean! Wine has already been spilled and came right out, dog hair is SO much easier to vacuum off. And the COMFORT!! I love the color and that I was able to 'rearrange' the couch to fit into my small space. Do not hesitate to buy this couch!!" —Dana DiBiccari
Get it from Amazon for $799.99+ (available in 19 colors).
21. A whimsical and colorful nine-drawer accent cabinet you can guarantee that no one on your block will have. They'll think you picked it up at an antique shop because of its unique design. It'll be our little secret.
22. A solid wood coffee table — it not only boasts a rustic pine finish but also comes with optional wheels so you can keep it in one spot or ~roll~ with the flow as inspiration strikes!
And while you're browsing through Wayfair, here are some stylish lamps and lighting pieces to make your living space feel extra cozy.
Promising review: "WE LOVE THIS TABLE! We needed a new coffee table in a hurry after our couch arrived and our old coffee table wouldn't work with it. This one is perfect for the shape of the couch. It is attractive, solid, functional, and interesting. In addition, Wayfair literally BLEW MY MIND with how quickly it arrived. We didn't even pay for expedited shipping and it was there in a couple of days. That was much appreciated after a few days with no where to set the coffee in the morning! :)" —Sharon
Get it from Wayfair for $679.99 (originally $749.99).
23. An elegant set of tufted chairs that come in beautifully saturated colors, a high curved back and soft upholstery to entice your family to gather around the kitchen table for meals.
Promising review: "We were looking for an easy way to change the look of our dining room, and these chairs fit the bill perfectly. They brought a splash of color and amazing comfort. They were easy to assemble and look more expensive than the pricey chairs that they replaced. We took a big chance ordering online for something as important as dining chairs, but it totally paid off." —AmyS
Get a pair from Amazon for $163.99+ (available in six colors).
24. A wide set chaise lounge you'll probably dive into after a long day and accidentally wake up the next morning because you were just that comfortable.

Get it from Wayfair for $1,249.99+ (available in 30 styles).
25. A pair of faux leather wingback chairs so classy, it'll make your living room feel like an early 1900s parlor. "Shall we retire to the drawing room for the remainder of the evening?" Oooh, we sound so fancy.
Promising review: "I love these chairs. They were easy to put together (by one 60+ woman) and VERY comfortable. I have a shedding dog and can't have fabric chairs. These wipe up easy peasy. Classy, too. Can be used in a living room and around a table. Legs look like wood but are metal and very sturdy. Like I said, I LOVE THESE CHAIRS." —Jmolsen
Get a set of two from Amazon for $462.99+ (available in two colors).
26. A modern storage console in case you're looking for a unique way to display beautiful pieces of decor but have minimal places to put them. This piece is filled with mini cutouts perfect for placing your knick knacks.
27. A plush Moroccan-style pouf you can use as a chair, footrest, or an end table. This multiuse bag of stuffing is great for pairing with furniture you already have.
You'll have to stuff the pouf yourself, and you can use pillow filling or even make good use of all of those old clothes that are taking up too much drawer space!
Promising review: "I'm thrilled with my pouf! It really looks like leather, goes well with my rustic decor, and looks very expensive. I stuffed mine with some throw blankets we don't use, a few towels, and some old clothes. It will be perfect as a footrest and for sitting on beside the coffee table for playing games and doing puzzles." —vnconn
Get it from Amazon for $44.45+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
28. A room divider with shelves so you can section off your space without sacrificing on storage. Reviewers say it's helped them to create more of a workspace area in their home.
Promising review: "Love this!!! Covers up my cat litter pans and defines the space in my large studio rental. Super easy to set up out of the box. Thank you!" —Sharon
"This item is beautiful and comes fully assembled except for slide in shelves. I purchased this for a Shore condo as a room divider to camouflage the kitchen and it’s perfect." —V.Ramoni
Get it from Amazon for $95.99+ (available in three colors and three sizes).
29. A linen upholstered double daybed with nailhead trim and twin trundle you can actually disguise as a couch and place it in your bedroom OR in your living room. It's a great option for studio apartments that need one room to be — well — every room.
