Don’t chase trends, grab investment worthy pieces that are timeless instead.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

It comes with 60 tiles, six mixable paint colors, and a light source.

Promising review: "My mom and I had a blast making this lamp together. Setting up the design was easy, and filling the pieces with resin was actually fun. Just make sure you use a flat surface so everything settles right. The finished lamp came out super dope, colorful, unique, and it gives off such a nice glow. Cool project, and now we've got a lamp we're proud of. Definitely recommend!" —Niyah

Promising review: "Don't you just love it when you envision something and then you find it? This vase has personality. It's like mini architecture for flowers and pampas. I love it!" —Toni

Get it from DWR for $220+ (originally $325; available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Playful but sophisticated, this rug is a find. The colors are rich and practically vibrate against the deep cream surrounding them, and the quality is first rate. I couldn’t be more pleased." —Erin

Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." —Max Ferg

The instructions were clear, and assembly was much easier than I expected. It fits perfectly in the corner and adds a beautiful, modern touch to the room while providing plenty of storage space. I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and functional corner shelf. Great value for the price!" —anonymous

Promising review: "I love this clock. It's completely silent (at least to human ears, but my cat is kind of obsessed with it), so I can keep it on my nightstand. Very sleek looking, simple, and classic. Exactly what I was looking for!" —km88

Promising review: "I really like this product! I gave a lot of them out last Christmas as gifts! Just bought another one for my nurse! I would highly recommend these for anyone." —grace

Get them from Quince for $409.90 (available in two sizes and four frame colors).

Promising review: "I was actually curious if this was actually going to work and if it would look cheap, but it's well-made, sturdy, and looks pretty cool. You can use other liquor bottles. Don't be fooled by the empty bottle and lack of weight. I tried full bottles of unopened wine, and it's held up really well. For the price point, you can't beat it, and you will definitely get lots of compliments!" —krzxmas

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "Splurged a little. We like board games a lot, and have a cabinet to store them, and I wanted some nice pieces to display on top. This was a wonderful, on the hunt for more beautiful pieces, but this is elegant, and it feels expensive." —Rutva

Promising review: "I actually bought this one for myself. Yup, it's right up my lane to place on my buffet. Hmmmm, I will put something delightful in it because I know people will not resist seeing if there is anything in it. If you want something that says, 'fancy,' here it is." —Deborah A.

Promising review: "We have enjoyed a pair of these for about five years. I am buying a third pair — the second pair I gave to my brother and his wife for their anniversary, and this pair is a wedding gift. The series is terrific and very classic. We have collected a number of the other items to decorate our own home, my brother has done the same, and we will continue the tradition." —Don

Promising review: "This mirror is perfect!! I love the aesthetic, and it goes perfectly with my very monochromatic bathroom. It's just what it needed on one long wall that seemed sparse. I love that it has a small bevel around the main mirror, and of course, all of those beautiful marquee-shaped crystals are faceted. It has a unique hanging system that makes it super easy to install. I highly recommend this!" —Dianne

Get it from Amazon for $113.99+ (available in two shapes and four sizes).

Brightech is a US-owned and -operated, family-run small business!
