Promising review: "Literally the highlight of my living room. I use a projector in place of a television, and so I wanted to have something that looked like art without needing to hang artwork on my projector wall. It is so pretty, almost like a James Turrell piece (you can reference Kendall Jenner's home) w/o the cost and installation of such a piece. I hope they introduce more colors or the ability to change the lamp's color, but I also love the sunset look. This lamp actually makes me so happy!" —Carmen winter

Promising review: "I research extensively prior to purchasing a product. This hammered copper metal outlet cover is a classic design that is very well made and includes a screw with a head that matches the copper perfectly. The cover fit over the existing outlet without issue. We have been using this product along with the matching switch plate for two years in our primary bathroom. They have both held up well. I am still very pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend this product." —Gigi

This is a stunning piece that will be prominently displayed in our next home that we will be moving to soon. I truly can't extend enough thank yous!" —The Lightkeeper

Get it from Quince for $134+ (available in three sizes, with or without a sham, and eight colors).

Promising review: "We recently did a complete kitchen renovation, complete with custom cabinetry and marble countertops, but my favorite part about the whole thing is this faucet. I considered having a pot filler installed, too, but with the removable head on this, I didn't have to. The finish is beautiful, and I would buy this all over again." —six06

Get it from Amazon for $69.62+ (available in two styles and two colors). 

Promising review: "Love my new wicker shade lamp! It's exactly what I was looking for to put in my bedroom for a cottage, almost a lake cabin-like decor feel! It's really a beautiful lamp. I used a 60-watt light bulb as another reviewer mentioned, and it's perfect! I'm so happy with it, and I used my Circle rewards on it, so I got a good price too!" —SugarShopper

Promising review: "I LOVE IT! It’s very cute and unique from other seated coat racks. I hate assembling anything, so I put it off for a few days in its box, but once I actually started, it wasn’t hard, surprisingly! I didn’t really need to look at the instructions since it’s pretty straightforward, besides which screws to use. Feels durable and steady." —Nessa

Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "These curtains are exactly what I was looking for. They let in the perfect amount of light! The gauze patches make it look vintage/aged, which is a plus for me." —rosenes

Get it on Urban Outfitters for $49 (available in six colors/styles) 

Promising review: "Old world charm! This little beauty is heavy and seems high-quality. The small gold details are appreciated, too. Having it professionally hung with sconces on each side. It’s hard to find a fashionable medicine cabinet, and we love the extra storage space high up for the kids. Great product!" — Ashwah

Get it from Anthropologie for $398 (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "Just got this, perfectly gives an ambient light behind my couch for the living room. Quality feels really nice, and it looks great in my space." —Grant

Promising review: "I wanted a reasonably priced chair that didn't have rollers, didn't have arms, was able to raise up sufficiently, and it didn't look like an 'office' chair. This checked all the boxes. I have my desk in a family room, so I didn't want that high-back mesh look found in most office chairs. I wanted more of a family room/living room look. I was really hesitant to buy furniture online and am pleased this worked out so well. I love the look, and it seems well-made." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors, genuine leather, faux-leather, or faux fur, and with or without wheels). 

Promising review: "Pillow covers provide a soft landing when your old couch gets a bit too torn up by exuberant cats. (Oddly, I’ve learned through observation that our cats don’t mess with velvet.) Each has two sides in contrasting jewel-tone colors. Easily stuffed with your own 20x20-inch inserts. Piping adds elegance with a quality hidden zipper that makes removal for laundry simple. This material is heavier than some other options I considered. If you have kids, grandkids, or pets, workmanship matters. I frequently wash cushions, so their colorfastness and ease of wash are a big deal. My mindful review of this purchase is that there’s good value in the price for fit, softness, and quality. The color really lifts my spirits, and I love the opportunity to swap colors around depending on my mood. LOL, enjoy!" —TCK

Get it from Nordstrom for $149.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Truly impressed by the quality of these chairs. I ordered three of them, and each one has its own unique wood grain pattern. There are many similar chairs in the market, but the small details of the Tuck In Chair set it apart from the rest. Would recommend!" —braeden s

Get it from Sundays for $540 (available in three colors/finishes). 

Promising review: "This chair was incredibly easy to assemble — I put it together all by myself without any trouble, so there's no need to hire someone for the job. The fabric feels wonderfully soft to the touch, and the color is bright and vibrant, adding a cheerful pop to the room." —Sam

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $150 (for 60.75 square feet of coverage; available in four colors).

Promising review: "The shelf is gorgeous, functional, and works great in our space. I also can't get over the packaging. It is essentially all recyclable cardboard that did a great job of protecting the package without the garbage can-filling mess and environmental disaster that is styrofoam." —Maxwell M.

Get it from Thuma for $550+ (available in 10 sizes). 

Promising review: "This mid-century modern coffee table has a wonderful design and offers a hiding spot for your cat! My cat took to it right away and loves sleeping on the soft mattress hidden inside the coffee table. The wood is quite heavy and sturdy. The assembly was fairly easy, with the step-by-step instructions; it took about 20 minutes. I highly recommend this coffee table for cat lovers. :))" —Julie

Get it from Wayfair for $93.99+ (originally $104.99; available in two colors).

Get it from Tulip for $159+ (available in eight styles). 

Promising review: "This rug was an excellent purchase. It is so soft and beautiful; it complements my space nicely, and it is heavy enough to withstand vacuuming. The forest/natural option is a medium forest-y green and taupe, with details in brown and gold. The mini fringe adds just a little extra detail to tie it all together and make it stand out against other rugs in the same price range. The design is tufted into the rug instead of printed on top. We have it on top of a felt rug pad for additional comfort and floor protection. Overall very pleased." —Nick S
