Promising review: “Okay, so I’ve been looking for the perfect tripod lamp. I read a ton of reviews, did some shopping around, and finally decided on this lamp. I LOVE it! The shade itself is textured and a nice warm beige that adds so much warmth. The legs look seamless even though each leg is made up of three smaller parts screwed into each other. The whole lamp itself came inside a small box, there is assembly required. I used some Zots to stick the cord to the back of one of the legs so you can’t see it because it’s kind of an eyesore. Love it, great quality for the price.” —Olivia Havener

amazon.com
Promising review: “I love these curtains. They add a sophisticated, funky touch of color and movement to your room without being overwhelming or purely retro. Very modern and active. I have a lot of muted tones and solid colors in my decor and needed something to bring the room to life. These curtains were the perfect choice.

This lamp is so beautiful, and the quality is amazing. The marble base is like real, sturdy marble. Gold finishing looks so expensive. Table is not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it and can’t believe I was able to find this for such a deal.” —Sarah Diaz
Get it from Amazon for $77.49+ (available in four styles).
18.
A linen sleeper sectional with chaise storage if you want a sectional that has ample storage and converts to a spacious bed. The chaise can store a variety of things, and the tufted cushions, arm details, and fabric make it look like something from a really expensive furniture showroom.
Amazon
Promising review: “I live in ‘a small house,’ and I have two toddlers. My mother-in-law comes over every two weeks and sleeps over. I can put away blankets and pillows in the storage portion, and the bed is easy to pull out. I was able to assemble it with one of my kids running around me. But it is kind of heavy. Also, this is a firm couch. The back pillows are nice and soft, but the seats are firm. I like that, though. When you connect both big pieces, there will be a small gap, but if it’s up against a wall, there’s nothing to worry about. Honestly, definitely top five furniture purchases I’ve ever made.” —Bejarano
Get it from Amazon for $399+ (available in five colors).

My husband and I built it together relatively quickly and with ease. It matches my decor and colors in my home and is neutral enough to look great anywhere. This will be a great piece to have in our home for many years.” —thelittleredcardinal

amazon.com, amazon.com
Brightech is a small business in Los Angeles that sells indoor and outdoor lighting for the home.
Promising review: “This lamp looks much more expensive than it is. For that feature alone, it deserves 5 stars. It looks beautiful in my living room and I love the style. It’s perfect for my needs. I looked at floor lamps in the $200–$300 range, and there were none that I liked as much as this one. I was thrilled to see that it didn’t look cheap at all, but very stylish.” —rnpilot
Get it from Amazon for $64.99.

I used this as an entertainment center, but I am highly considering buying another one to use as a credenza in my dining room!” —Justin Parker
Get it from Amazon for $214.54+ (available in three colors).

Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Promising review: “I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight, so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things.” —Monica N.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two colors).
24. A swivel armchair that’ll make you wonder why all chairs don’t swivel. Whether for your reading nook, a corner that needs a little love, or just because you deserve a spot to relax, this chair will deliver.

Reviewers say this rug stays in place, but grab a rug gripper for extra security!
Promising review: “Very nice quality rug, not thin, good weight, stays put, washes up nicely. I wash on gentle, dry for minutes on low, and hang overnight to dry completely. Use it as a runner on top of a large nonwashable white shag rug to protect it from stains. Would buy more if it came in other colors.” —JM
Get the 2×6 size from Amazon for $22.99+ (also available in nine sizes and two colors).

amazon.com
Promising review: “Absolutely in love with this set. Very cozy, love to read books or get some work done on my ipad/laptop on this chair. It is quite firm, which I like. The footrest is very versatile due to its size; I use it a lot just as a stool or a little table before sleep. When first unpacked, I was worried the chair would shed, but it doesn’t. Great product for a great price, highly recommend.” —Tatevik Ayazyan
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three colors and with or without the ottoman).
27.
A small, nonticking alarm clock to wake you up without flashing lights. This small but mighty little guy is also battery-powered and has a built-in night-light should you need it.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: “I am in love with this little clock. It’s as adorable as it looks online and fits in perfectly with my decor. I appreciate its small size and neutral hues. The face is easy to read. It’s easy to use, just like the clocks of yore. I’m relieved to hear no ticking and to have its very gentle light only when I press for it at night. So far, it seems to keep time well. My only wish would be a more pleasant sounding alarm; goodness knows though, there’s certainly no chance of me oversleeping now that I have this to awaken me!” —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 12 colors).
28.
An extra wide chair so you can get extra comfortable when it’s time to snuggle up for hours on end.

Albany Park
Promising review: “I purchased the Park armchair and ottoman as a gift to myself. I wanted to create my own cozy reading nook. I got them both in olive velvet. The chair is very roomy and comfortable. I did a lot of searching for the perfect chair before I settled on Albany Park. I made the right decision!” —Sarah T.
Get it from Albany Park for $787+ (available in seven fabric colors and two leg colors).

amazon.com
Brightech is a small business in Los Angeles that sells indoor and outdoor lighting for the home.
Promising review: “I am very happy with this lamp. I was a little worried about the quality because of the low price, but I really had nothing to worry about. It is an excellent-quality lamp. The base is very heavy, so it won’t easily tip over, which is a problem with another similar-style lamp I have in my living room. You can adjust the light to just about any direction, which is also a nice feature. I purchased this to light my desk area. It turns off and on via a touch sensor and also dims to different levels. The light itself is very bright, and I can see this being an ideal lamp for crafting while sitting in a rocking chair or on the sofa.” —Happy in the OC
Get it from Amazon for $49.49+ (be sure to clip the 15% off coupon; available in three colors).

A spacious velvet chair that folds down flat. Its straightforward transition to a bed (no mattress required) makes it ideal for small spaces and those who want the conversion process to take as little time as possible.
Wayfair
Promising review: “Perfect for my son’s room. He uses it as the couch for video games. And when he has a friend over, they pull it out, and they sleep on it. I ordered it almost two years ago, and it’s still just like when I bought it. It hasn’t smashed in like some couches, and it still opens up into the bed with ease. Worth every penny!” —Christina
Get it from Wayfair for $299.99+ (available in four colors).

A sectional sofa with wide armrests and tufted back cushions. The fabric material gives it a groovy look, too. Modern and retro design go hand in hand.
amazon.com
Promising review: “This couch!!! So beautiful — the color and the design are stunning. I’m still in shock at the value for the money! It was so easy to assemble, and I am a 30-something female that put it together alone. As far as comfort, it’s not the softest, but it’s getting softer as time goes on. Honestly, I don’t even care if it remains this way because it’s perfect for me. I was also able to store my treadmill underneath it, which is an added bonus. Not to mention, the customer service was excellent. The company communicated the whole time to make sure I was satisfied. I recommend this to EVERYONE who comes over and compliments it! Amazing!” —Danielle Cotting
Get it from Amazon for $419 (available in four colors).

Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $167.99.
36. A colorful programmable coffee maker if you want to take a trip back in time whenever it’s time to pour yourself another cup. With room for 12 cups and a handy pause-and-serve feature, it’s got all the charm of a classic diner brew station, but with the convenience we need today.
Promising review: “We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia, and we’ve been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker, and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no-brainer. It looks great on our counter, it works pretty much like every other coffee pot, and the reusable filter is a great touch, too. And my wife swears this coffee is better than the last coffee maker.” —G. King

Promising review: “Ok, so, this is my second set of these blue ‘mid-century-looking’ chairs. I have them in a lake house, which absolutely screams ‘perfect!’ They have held up very well in that house for two years. When I needed to get a few new chairs for my home, these chairs were the first ones to come to mind. I love that they are super stylish and modern-looking, and they fit perfectly. They were fairly easy to put together (took about 10–12 minutes each). No problems there. My one negative on these chairs, is that they’re a little hard. I so wish that they were more comfortable! But, I don’t mind that much. I love the look so much that I don’t care. Overall, I am super happy with these.” —Lisa Henahan
