Since its creation as an online bookstore, Amazon
has evolved into a catch-all digital shopping destination, selling
everything from groceries to flat screen TVs. A huge portion of the site
is dedicated to home products, with an almost overwhelming number of
items for shoppers to peruse.
To narrow down the options, Insider
spoke to three interior designers about what they would buy from Amazon
for their homes right now: Ashley Moore, the founder and principal
designer of Moore House Interiors; Maggie Griffin, the founder and principal designer of Maggie Griffin Design; and Abbe Fenimore, the founder and principal designer of Studio Ten 25.
The
trio use Amazon for smaller decor items that brighten their spaces —
like cloth napkins or serving bowls — but they also make some bigger
home purchases from the site, such as duvet covers or rugs.
Here are the 14 things you should buy from Amazon for your home right now.
A candle is a simple purchase, but it can drastically change how your space feels.
Griffin likes to use Amazon because of how easy it makes shopping for the consumer.
"I created an Amazon list so that my Instagram
followers would be able to purchase my favorite items directly from the
site," she told Insider. "I recommend a lot of beautiful tabletop items
to make your next party or gathering special."
One such item is this fresh cut gardenia candle from DW Home.
This serving tray is both useful and cute.
Moore is a fan of this ZYER serving
tray, as it "adds a touch of natural texture to any space" and is made
with eco-friendly rattan.
"It's always safe to buy baskets,
candles, blankets, pillow covers, other simple decor, and even some
lighting online," she told Insider. "The descriptions are usually very
good, and you know what you're getting when you order them."
An accent bowl is a creative way to spice up your space.
Moore and Fenimore both advised
that this serving bowl from Creative Co-op would be a good purchase,
since it's a simple decor piece. But both warned against buying larger
furniture pieces, like mattresses or couches, online.
"You spend so much time on those surfaces and should feel them in person before purchasing," Moore explained.
"It's important to see an item in person in order to fully assess the quality, comfort, and fabric color," Fenimore added.
This duvet cover can easily be cleaned in both the washer and dryer.
Fenimore looks to Amazon for
well-made and affordable pieces for her and her client's homes, which is
why she likes this Bedsure comforter.
"There isn't much you can't
find on Amazon," she told Insider. "I love the ability to compare
pricing, shop popular vendors, and easily discover new ones."
These cloth napkins can warm up your table, and they're environmentally friendly.
"Tabletop decor is amazing on
Amazon," Griffin told Insider, adding that the site has a plethora of
options. These CottonLin cloth napkins will help you save on disposable
napkins as well.
This chic hanging lamp can brighten your space.
Lighting is another item that is
more convenient to have delivered, especially when it's a larger
fixture. This large overhead lamp by Minka Lavery, which Moore included
on her list of must-buys, is a good example.
This rug has a fun pattern but a neutral palette, so it won't overwhelm your space.
"I
love this rug and have
it in my master bathroom," Moore gushed to Insider. If the Couristan rug
is good enough for an interior designer's home, it should work for you
too.
These cups offer a different take on the tortoiseshell print.
Griffin selected these handmade
NOVICA glasses as another great tabletop choice from Amazon. Their
unique design makes them a talking point, but they're durable as well.
Room sprays offer an easy way to rejuvenate a space.
Moore recommends this Caldrea room
spray to freshen up your space. And she always advises reading the
reviews — for both this product and any other purchase on the site — as
"people are brutally honest on Amazon!"
Having real liquor glasses on hand can elevate your parties.
"Amazon is a great resource for
someone that entertains often and is looking for stylish, yet affordable
serving pieces," Fenimore told Insider.
These Godinger glasses definitely fall into that category thanks to their low price tag and intricate design.
You can use these canisters to organize your spices and add some cuteness to your kitchen at the same time.
Moore added these spice holders
from California Home Goods to her list because they can help her stay
organized. Plus, it's much simpler to buy them online since they're
somewhat delicate.
A basket is a versatile piece that you can use for storing blankets, toys, and more.
"Storage baskets are another great
item to purchase on Amazon," Fenimore told Insider. She adds that it's
best to "incorporate baskets that fit the overall look and style of the
room, so they're not an eyesore."
This subtle black-and-white option from INDRESSME
would work almost anywhere.
