I’m seriously reevaluating inflatable furniture...

I am a contributing writer based in Brooklyn who previously held roles at BuzzFeed including Commerce Writer, Senior Entertainment Partnership Manager (Streaming Lead), and Streaming Editor.

Promising review: "This candle holder is right on trend! Use as a pair with different height candles. It modernizes your decor for such a low investment!" —Anonymous

Promising review: "I needed something that didn’t take up floor space but added some texture to our room. I used two for our king-size bed and used Command strips on the back to help keep them on the wall. They don’t move and provide the room with the exact look I was going for. I love them." —Wendy

Promising review: "A solid pair of pieces. Kind of a Scandi-Shaker vibe." —Mark

Promising review: "Not only is the rug cute, but my cats are obsessed with it. I've had it for about two months, and it still looks brand new, even with the scratches and bites on the strings. It looks amazing. I work at a pet store and recommend this rug all the time to customers with scratchy cats!" —Kiona

"I draped my rug over a birch stick to make it a wall hanging. Love it." —Joy

Promising review: "Absolutely a breeze to install and get set up! I bought a total of three of these for my apartment! One of the double pack, one of the single!" —Jared

Promising review: "I really like these curtains. They allow light to filter in, so they are not room-darkening, but I love seeing the morning light come through. I wear an eye mask, so no need for room darkening. Once ironed, they hang nicely. Recommend!" —Anonymous

Price: $89.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Great quality light, great price, and beautiful too! Easy to assemble and plenty of mounting options as well. The light output is perfect, too!" —Jacqueline

Promising review: "Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase. It’s fun, functional, comfortable, and adds personality to the room." —Chantal 

Promising review: "Love this little thing! It’s very sturdy and, for extra sturdiness, has holes on top to secure it to the door. Really adds a beautiful touch of mid-century modern type of design. (Installing it also helped me to discover a huge gap around my door, lol)." —Stephanie

Promising review: "This vase is exquisite. It is a beautiful, bold color in an abstract design. Clean, modern, and sculptural. The glass is substantial. Excellent quality for such a reasonable price. This item exceeded my expectations." —Sandra

Promising review: "It's nice to see the grain variations and colors present in a natural wood product. Brings a sophisticated touch to our laundry area, which is visible from the living area of the house." —Anonymous

Promising review: "Love this plant plot. It is sturdy and looks stunning in my apartment." —Abolade

Note: Light bulb sold separately. Ikea recommends LED bulb E12 globe opal white.

Promising review: "I just received my red Blasverk lamp last night, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and and value of this adorable Ikea product! This would look just as good in a children's room as it would in a living room. Extremely pleased with the quality and how bright it is for just under $20!  Please note that it takes an E12 bulb which is smaller than a standard lightbulb." —Pamela 

Price: $19.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Great in so many places, bedside tables (lengthwise) for a different, yet very useful orientation, behind the sofa grouped to create a modern visual masterpiece. Easy to assemble." —Mark

Price: $59.99 (available in two colors/finishes)

Promising review: "I bought two Hovets, one for a landing on a dark stairwell, and the other to hang over a three-seater sofa in the living room. In both places, it instantly brightened and visually opened up the area. I was able to transport and hang both mirrors myself. I used a long strip of cardboard from the box to make a template for the holes and then taped the template to the wall… Worked great! The mirror is sturdy and reflects evenly, with no distortion in mine. The simple black frame gives off a modern vibe and updates my living room. My adult kids all liked the change. It’s a fantastic mirror for the price, and I am even thinking I might get a third one for the entry." —Andrea

Price: $169.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I bought this shelf to install in the restroom in place of a cabinet. It looks nice and gives the room a bit more character." —Jacqueline

Price: $29+ (available in two sizes and two colors) 

Promising review: "Great size, small enough for my 3-year-old to use but sturdy enough for myself or a decent-sized plant stand as well. Happy with the orange and purple colors!" —Cizon

Promising review: "Lovely shape that can be easily elevated with a color-changing light bulb. If you've been wanting one, get it. It changed my life completely." —Allison

Promising review: "Sturdy, looks nice, and fits perfectly between my countertop and cupboard. Fills in that dingy corner between the fridge and stove that never had anything but bottles and spice jars that I used too much to justify storing. Now not only are they properly in/on a thing, but more accessible, using the vertical space to increase free counter space AND letting the goods cover that gap beside the fridge." —Nick

Promising review: "We moved into a much smaller home, and they're just right for gloves and hats on a shelf above coats. They hold my loose pasta boxes/bags, bagged snacks, onions, and potatoes, all while looking fabulous but simple. They are sturdy and well-made — very pleased with this product!" —Mary

Price: $14.99 (available in four colors) 

Promising review: "Small yet it's enough to take everything off my desk's surface (because I have a walking baby who likes to get in everything). It also looks super neat. 10/10 will recommend to others!" —Linh 

Price: $34.99 (available in two colors) 

Promising review: "It was the perfect fit for our shower. We decided we didn’t want to drill holes in our travertine tile, so we got indoor/outdoor 3M tape. It worked perfectly!" —Anonymous reviewer

Promising review: "I highly recommend the Gladom table. I have two in white that I have my houseplants on, and just bought my third (more houseplants). I assembled these tables by myself in a few minutes, which was very satisfying. Its slim profile makes it great for small spaces, and it’s lightweight, which makes moving it around easy. I’m off to assemble number three! Happy shopping!" —Adrianne

Price: $24.99 (available in four colors)

Promising review: "Love the look! Very sturdy and like the very low hooks to hang heavy bags to keep it even more grounded. This reminds me of deer or elk antlers. Have had no issues with loosening up yet. Great value for price." —Jesse
