Fun fact: You don’t need to ACTUALLY get a whole new couch to get a whole new couch.

I am a writer and editor based in Washington, DC whose work has appeared at Bustle, The Toast, and others; my book Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark was published in 2019.

Promising review: “LOVE this organizer! I was looking for a way to declutter my entrance that was full of shoes when I take my dog out. This solved the problem very elegantly! Easy to assemble as well.” —Bianca

Promising review: “Wish I had bought these sooner! Great quality, easy to use, and makes closet space look so much cleaner.” —Desiree

Price: $29.99 for a set of four dividers

Promising review: “Love the design and the size. Nice, warm glow, yet bright enough for nighttime. Design is fresh and clean and fits nicely with mid-century modern contemporary vibes.” —Rowena

Promising review: “Love it! Super durable and versatile. I’ve had it in three different apartments now, and it’s been helpful and cute in each one. Note that the pockets aren’t huge/don’t morph very much, so you can only fit so much in them.” —Ric

Price: $36.99 (originally $38.99; available in two colors)

Promising review: “Love this art piece. Fits perfectly in my office. Great quality and beautiful piece. Shipped super quickly.” —Jennifer

Promising review: “Gorgeous. Perfect for the basement living room — we bought two. Easy to pull out and the storage is a huge plus for extra pillows and toys. Pretty easy putting together with two people. Firm, but I like that. Took a long time to decide on this, but glad we did.” —April

Note that the covers don’t come with pillow inserts, but you can grab a couple of those here if you need to.

Promising review: “Fit perfectly and look fantastic. I really like the pattern and the soft feel. Helped update an older sofa.” —Robin

Price: $27.99+ for a set of two covers (available in four sizes and eight colors)

Promising review: “Hung this one up in a hallway to make the area look bigger and brighter. Mission accomplished!” —Stacey

For the curious, the duvet cover is made of 100% cotton. It also comes with two or four shams, depending on the duvet size, plus two throw pillows.

Promising review: “I love the textural look of this duvet. I got it in the ivory for a guest room that needed a makeover, and it definitely makes a statement. The pom poms stand out and seem to be good quality. The two decorative pillows add a nice touch and are also well-made. Overall, very happy with this choice.” —Melissa

Price: $42.68+ (originally $109.99+; available in sizes twin/twin XL–king/California king and seven colors)

Promising review: “Great blackout curtains. Absolutely NO light comes in. The moonlight bothered us, and these curtains took care of that. In the daytime, it's pretty dark as well and would work well for a night-shift person.” —Helen

Price: $15.99+ per panel (originally $49.99+; available in three sizes and 11 colors)

Promising review: “Game changer for my sleep quality! The cooling gel layer truly works wonders, keeping me cool throughout the night — no more waking up sweaty! The medium firmness strikes the perfect balance between soft comfort and proper support, especially for my back and joints. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my sleep since switching to this mattress. Highly recommend it to anyone who values a good night’s rest!” —Bee

Price: $369.99+ (originally $599.99+; available in sizes twin–king)

Promising review: “This is a very nice shower curtain. It helped to brighten up the guest bathroom. The green of the leaves added that pop of color needed.” —Anonymous

Promising review: “Extremely soft and comfortable to stand on. And they do not slip around which is excellent for safety reasons. I have the 17x47 in front of the vanity and the 20x32 in front of the changing room bench. They are so comfortable that my dogs will come to the cold basement bathroom and curl up on them.” —Kelly

Price: $13.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors)

Pro tip: It’s actually a lot simpler to swap out faucets and fixtures than you probably think, and if you’ve been dealing with a less-than-stellar shower, it is absolutely worth the effort. (Source: Me; my spouse and I installed a new showerhead when we moved into our place eight years ago, and it is a decision neither of us has ever regretted.)

Promising review: “Great showerhead that also tilts. The pressure is great, and the handheld is a must!! Just got to make sure you wipe the chrome after showering so it doesn’t leave water spots.” —Andrea

Price: $529+ (available in four finishes)

Promising review: “I am truly impressed by how this towel warmer turned my bath routine into a pampering spa experience. The warm towel feels amazing after a long bath. It was super easy to use with just a touch of a button. It’s safe to use and shuts off automatically. Even my kids use it and put their clothes in to warm them up with their towels. It’s worth every penny and the best purchase ever.” —Mother of Dragons

Promising review: “These are awesome and look fantastic. We replaced that handles with extended ends that always seemed to catch my pockets in the kitchen. This is a giant upgrade for a reasonable price.” —Loretta

Price: $28.99+ for a set of 10 (originally $77.66; available in five finishes)

Promising review: “Fun and beautiful accent! Larger than I anticipated, but a fun accessory for our first bath cabinets.” —Jessica

Price: $12.99+ per knob (originally $17.16; available in six finishes)

Promising review: “Really gorgeous and elegant-looking. It's exactly the size we were looking for, height, width, and depth, but I really made sure to measure exactly how large it'd be before placing the order. It's sturdy, it's holding up a ton of decor and a heavy mirror despite being quite slim.” —Jade

Price: $137.99+ (available in two sizes and six finishes)

Promising review: “These were of good quality, very attractive, and were easy to install. They look gorgeous on our newly remodeled entryway.” —Nicholas

Price: $22.99+ for a set of five hooks (available in three colors)

Promising review: “This installed so easily, looks great, and helped get a lot of clutter off my workspace. Great craft room addition, highly recommend!” —Jeana

Price: $129.97+ (originally $179.99; available in 34 color combinations)

Promising review: “  So pleased I bought this stand-up desk! It can go up by pressing a button to one of three levels or by manual adjustment. There is a place to put the cords through in the back to keep them organized, and two hooks on the side made of heavy plastic. Great for my headset and one of my computer bags. It's really great. I have a small condo, so I bought the smaller size on purpose, and it works perfectly for my space.” —Amy

Price: $98.99+ (originally $350+; available in four sizes and four colors)

Promising reviews: “These look amazing in my kitchen for a command center, important paper catchall! Love writing (and seeing) notes from my teens on these boards.” —Terri

Price: $49.99+ (originally $57.99+; available in two sizes)

Promising review: “I absolutely love this kitchen island. The quality is excellent, and it feels sturdy and well‑made. The finish is beautiful and adds a bright, clean look to my space. It offers plenty of storage, and the shelves and drawers are surprisingly spacious. The size is perfect — not too big, not too small — and it fits seamlessly into my kitchen layout. Assembly was straightforward, and the final result looks like a much more expensive piece.” —Anonymous

Price: $246.99+ (originally $339+; available in three colors)

Promising review: “Excellent faucet! Love its design, and it looks and works very well. Cannot be happier with this purchase. Highly recommend to anyone who is renovating their kitchen and wants a modern look and well-functioning faucet.” —Ellen

Price: $274.95+ (originally $550+; available in three colors)

Look. I know I write about these things all the time, but I will sing the praises of fridge organizer bins until the day I die. I, in fact, have a four-bin set like this one; I acquired them a few years ago, and now I will not stock my fridge without them. The two larger ones go on the bottom shelf, where they hold things like bundles of fresh herbs and leafy greens; stacked on top of each other, they make excellent use of the bottom shelf’s vertical space that might otherwise be wasted. Then the two smaller ones go side-by-side on the top shelf, so I never have to guess where my Better Than Bouillon or pickled jalapenos went. I love them so much, friends. They bring so much joy and order into my life. Fridge bins 4 life!

Promising review: “This was perfect for our pantry! The kids have their snacks organized, and I no longer have to open the pantry and realize a box of snacks was empty... love these!” —Sheryl

Promising review: “We love our Bodum French press. We have one for each of us. The design is modern and so beautiful! I make sure to hand-dry the stainless steel press so it always looks shiny. We usually wrap our presses with a clean dishcloth so it stays warm even longer. We use two tablespoons (included is a plastic spoon) of coarser ground coffee so the grounds do not sift through the mesh plunger. Set your timer for four minutes and then push down gently on the plunger. Don’t forget to line up the little ‘arrow’ on the lid with the spout. Voila!” —Jasmin

Promising review: “Totally worth the price! Takes approximately two minutes to fully froth and is fairly silent. Works perfectly with almond milk creamer and skim milk.” —Sarah

My household recently replaced our aged, extremely-not-great toaster oven (seriously, we had to rotate our toast at least twice during the toasting process in order to end up with something vaguely resembling even, all-over browning) with this exact model, and friends — it is LIFE CHANGING. Not only does it, y’know, toast things nicely and evenly, but it also has been a game changer for heating up all kinds of things — a great improvement over our previous situation.

For example, I made a sheet pan phyllo pastry slab pie that resulted in tons of leftovers. Reheating slices of this thing in the microwave works, of course, but it ends up all soggy — not crispy and flaky, the way phyllo should be.

But when I popped a couple of slices in this toaster oven, set to air fry? They crisped right back up. Honestly, it was as if I’d just pulled them out of the oven after the initial bake. A+, no notes. Yes, it is an investment. But y’all. It is 100% worth saving up for if you can swing it. I promise.

Promising review: “I’ve had this for about a month now, and I might never turn on my oven. Does a great job cooking. Easy to clean. It’s perfect for cooking full meals for a few people. Highly recommend.” —Suzie
