By far, the highlight of my bedroom is this Joss & Main upholstered headboard. I knew this was one of the first pieces get once I moved into my house last year. It makes my space look elevated and supremely cozy.
“This cute 3-piece set can fill out any corner nicely and add to the space,” Emma Sutton-Williams, commerce reporter, shared. “It comes in five different shades and seats, too. What more do you want at this price?”
“When my idol Kelly Clarkson got into the furniture business, I was eager to support and that support came in the form of this chair for our home office,” Adam Schubini, commerce senior manager of growth, said. “We have an older model, but we’ve had it for nearly six years and it’s still going strong. Even my cat likes to nap on it.”
“Lately, I’ve been searching for the perfect statement piece for my small space, and the sleek walnut lines of this mid-century frame are exactly what it needs,” Kendall Cornish, commerce associate editor, shared. “I’m seriously coveting this chair because it balances that cool, retro aesthetic with a plush seat that looks like the ultimate spot for morning coffee.”
“This is the nicest bar cart I’ve ever owned and gets more compliments than my dog (who is pretty cute),” Sutton-Williams shared. “It looks elegant and has a great organizational layout.”
“I’m moving soon so I’m excited to take advantage of Way Day’s rug sales,” said Meaghan Seward, commerce senior strategist of audience optimization and discovery. “I love the neutral tones and high pile on this rug for my new bedroom. Bonus: Wayfair makes it so easy to pair an affordable rug pad with your purchase.”
“I own two lamps of this sort and love that they can store books or little collectibles on their three shelves, as well as light up my space,” Nishka Dhawan, commerce reporter, said. “This option comes with adjustable brightness and even a remote to adjust light settings.”
“Add a touch of modern edge to your space with a runner to change up your hallway or place in the kitchen,” Sutton-Williams suggested. “It’s pet- and kid-friendly, making it easy to wash and holding up well over time. ”
“Living in tiny NYC apartments means extra storage space is always necessary, even when it comes to furniture,” Schubini said. “This bench not only provides additional seating, but it adds a bold pop of color to our home office and gives me a place to store my shoe collection.”
“I’ve had my eye on the Basil finish of this Staub Dutch Oven for a while because that deep, earthy green would look absolutely stunning sitting out on my stovetop — but I also swear by Staub,” Cornish said. “I want this heirloom-quality piece for its legendary French craftsmanship, knowing it will turn out perfectly crusty sourdough and slow-cooked stews for a lifetime.”
“I’ll be honest, the office chairs in my new work home are not as comfy as they could be,” Will Kenton, commerce editor, admitted. “This chair is cheap (by office chair standards) and looks like it would gently cradle my frail, knowledge worker frame.”
“I’ve been searching for the perfect swiveling barstools to spruce up my boring kitchen space,” Miska Salemann, commerce reporter, shared. “These have a modern flair, but still look sturdy and practical.”
“I have a teen who is graduating from middle school and graduating from his childhood twin bed, and this caught my eye as a stylish upgrade with a simple design that doesn’t cost too much,” Kenton shared.
“With a toddler and a dog who both treat the living room like their playground, I stick to rugs that are either affordable or easy to wash,” Salemann said. “This gorgeous area rug checks both boxes, and I can’t stop admiring its intricate, lively floral design, perfect for spring.”
Another piece I plan to upgrade in my new home is my desk, and this standing option is sleek and chic while still having some built-in storage – and the price can’t be beat,” Seward highlighted.
“Wayfair is my go-to for large area rugs, and this company previously made a similar blue-toned abstract rug I own,” Dhawan said. “The rug has lasted me three years now with minimal fading across three apartments and countless spills. The discount is just an added bonus!”
