Novogratz Tallulah Memory Foam Futon

Futons have evolved significantly in design, shedding their reputation as purely functional furniture for college dorms or starter apartments. This Novogratz futon boasts sophisticated touches, such as tufted buttons, wooden legs, a plush velvet-like finish, and curved armrests, setting it apart from conventional models. “Soft, rounded edges are currently in vogue,” says Joyce Huston, co-founder and lead interior designer at Decorilla, in a conversation with Mytour. She adds, “[They] introduce a gentler aesthetic to modern, angular interiors.” 

Nvrgiup Candle Warmer Lamp

A candle-warmer lamp combines aesthetics with practicality, offering a chic addition to your decor while filling your home with delightful fragrances. “These have been a growing trend over the past few years, and it’s one I fully support,” Morgan remarks. “I appreciate how they allow you to enjoy your favorite candle scents subtly, without the need for an open flame, while also serving as a source of ambient lighting.” This lamp also features adjustable height, brightness, and timer settings for added convenience.

Melomoir 71-Inch by 32-Inch Full-Length Floor Mirror

“Mirrors not only improve a room’s lighting but also make it appear more spacious,” says Colleen Bennett, president and interior designer at CBB Design Firm. This mirror stands nearly six feet tall and boasts a modern black frame, perfect for adding sophistication to entryways, living rooms, bedrooms, or offices. “A mirror with a slim, minimalist frame in matte black or brushed gold can open up a room and lend a refined, modern vibe,” Huston adds. 

Safavieh Landen Leaf 6-Inch Antique Gold Floor Lamp

Floor lamps are a must-have for any home, as they contribute to a warm and inviting ambiance. “Floor lamps are both practical and decorative, offering essential lighting while also serving as a statement piece in any room,” Bennett explains. “A thoughtfully designed floor lamp can significantly enhance a space’s aesthetic.” Featuring intricate sculpted leaves and elegant gold accents, this lamp is a bargain at over $100 off its original price.    

Loloi Layla Collection 7.6-Foot x 9.6-Foot Vintage-Inspired Low-Pile Rug

Area rugs are a simple yet effective way to add character to your home without the hassle of rearranging furniture or hanging wall art—just unroll it, and you’re set. This rug, discounted by $359, is an excellent choice for your space, featuring earthy tones and a vintage-inspired pattern. “A living room or bedroom feels incomplete without a plush area rug to unify the space and delineate areas like seating zones,” Morgan notes. 

Kate and Laurel Lipton Modern Hexagon Tray

If you love styling your coffee table, you’re likely familiar with the challenge of making it look cohesive while accommodating less attractive items like remotes or tissue boxes. This coffee table tray solves that problem, keeping your essentials organized and adding a polished touch. “A coffee table tray is a must-have for me,” Morgan says. “It helps gather remotes, coasters, and decor into one stylish spot, creating a neat and intentional look instead of a cluttered tabletop.”

Amélie Home Chunky Knit Throw Blanket

A cozy throw blanket is always a great addition, but for a more inviting atmosphere, Morgan suggests opting for a chunky knit blanket like this one. Draped over your couch or seating, it enhances the warmth and charm of your space. “A chunky knit blanket is perfect for staying snug during chilly, rainy days while binge-watching your favorite series—a must-have for the season,” she adds. 

Yaheetech Vintage Lift-Top Coffee Table

For organizing your home essentials like TV remotes, candles, books, magazines, and decor, consider grabbing this coffee table during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale. It boasts a rustic wood finish and a lift-top design, perfect for storing blankets, board games, and other household items. If you’re seeking something more distinctive, Huston recommends opting for “pieces that resemble art, featuring organic shapes, mixed materials like wood and metal, or even stone.”

Pukami Cross-Legged Office Chair

Whether you work from home or need a desk for hobbies and crafts, a reliable office chair is essential. Morgan is a fan of cross-legged office chairs like this one from Pukami, which combines comfort and style. Its extra-wide cushion and striped gray pattern complement any home decor or color scheme.   

Deconovo Corduroy Pillow Covers, Set of 2

Pillow covers, much like area rugs, offer an effortless way to enhance your space. These corduroy covers boast a luxuriously smooth texture and come in a rich green shade, a favorite of Huston’s for home design projects. “Deep green accents paired with muted tones like sage and oatmeal create a calming yet elegant vibe,” she notes. 

Vevor 4-Foot Artificial Palm Trees, 2 Pack

“Biophilic design is essential,” Huston emphasizes. “It involves incorporating natural elements like plants, sunlight, and organic materials into our homes and buildings…[which] can promote relaxation, focus, and a stronger connection to nature.” You can embrace biophilic design with this pair of artificial palm trees from Vevor. Standing four feet tall, they feature lifelike leaves, flexible branches, and authentic palm silk at the base.  

Colamy Accent Chair

Whether you’re upgrading your seating or adding a chair to your office, reading nook, bedroom, or living room, this accent chair is a fantastic option. “A well-designed accent chair combines functionality with style,” Bennett notes. “It injects character into a space and offers a comfortable spot for reading or relaxing.” This chair features rubber legs with a wood-like finish, curved armrests, and high-density cushions for exceptional support. 

Richer House Black Floating Shelves, Set of 3

Floating shelves are “ideal for displaying curated decor and maintaining a clean, uncluttered look,” Huston explains. To reduce floor furniture clutter, consider adding storage and decor to your walls with this set of floating shelves. Measuring 17 inches long and 5.7 inches wide, each shelf can support up to 20 pounds. Huston advises looking for “black or brass shelves,” as they “introduce a sleek, architectural touch to walls.” 

Signature Design by Ashley Hannela 17-Inch Vase

Decorative floral arrangements and seasonal accents shine when paired with the right vase, and this 17-inch piece elevates your home decor. Beyond its generous size, it features a textured ribbed design and a rustic tan finish that complements various decor styles. For a warm, inviting atmosphere, Huston suggests focusing on “earthy tones and rich textures.” 

Songmics Storage Ottoman

“Ottomans are versatile pieces that offer extra seating, a footrest, and clever storage, ideal for stashing throws, magazines, or toys out of sight,” Bennett notes. This ottoman excels in all three roles, providing storage, seating, and a footrest. With a 35-gallon storage capacity, it features a timeless design, including tufted details, elegant legs, and a soft linen finish. Additionally, it can support up to 330 pounds.
