Sure, I’m/the entire EHD workforce remains to be in a hardcore “let’s make life appear and feel higher” mindset. For me, it’s been all the pieces from well being to magnificence to residence group. I’m slowly chipping away at issues which have been on my listing of to-dos for some time, and wow, wow, wow, it simply feels actually good to verify these infants off. So, within the spirit of January, this can be a publish full of principally decor items which can be each nice wanting as they’re sensible (aka will make your life higher). Oh, and it’s all from Wayfair, so you understand the costs are nice, and that transport is FAST. I promise that there’s a lot energy in making only one small constructive change, even when we assume it’s a waste of time if we will’t get all the pieces now we have on our lists performed suddenly. It’s not a waste, and it actually helps…I do know from expertise. So let’s dive in, we could?
Shoe Storage
I do know I talked about shoe storage in my publish final week about organizing merchandise, however there have been solely two choices (each nice if I do say so myself), however I felt we wanted extra, and with some selection. These will solely give attention to shoe storage for entryways or mudrooms (aka the sort you see and wish to look lovely).
What a stunner! Fashionable conventional type, nice wanting {hardware}, holds as much as 12 pairs of footwear (not less than that’s what it says within the description, AND has a drawer! Oh, sorry, it’s additionally below $150:)) I simply assume it’s so stylish and gives a lot perform, even past the shoe storage. It does are available in just a few different colours if black doesn’t work with the remainder of your decor.
However you would possibly favor extra of a bench type (it’s good to have a spot to sit down if you’re placing on or taking off your footwear), and that’s the place this excellent piece is available in. The proper quantity of element to make it really feel particular however not “an excessive amount of,” holds eight pairs of footwear, and is just $120.
This one I LOVE visually, however clearly it doesn’t have the identical storage capability because the others. I see this another for the individual, couple, household, and so forth, that doesn’t have a shoe storage downside however does want a bench. Then let’s say if a pair of footwear wants a fast non permanent residence or if visitors come over, then this can be a excellent match. The curves of the arms are so good, too.
Boot Trays
The Portland workforce made certain I included boot trays as a result of they’re properly acquainted with wanting a nice-looking place to place their moist and/or soiled footwear. I assumed this one was fairly splendid! It has an awesome MCM type, lovely stain (there are two different choices as properly), and two tiers! Double the footwear, double the enjoyable, they are saying:)
Nonetheless, should you don’t want two tiers and like a tray that’s simple to wipe down, both of those are nice wanting and work with a ton of types. The galvanized metal one is $40 and splendidly traditional, and the copper one is $46 with that stylish and quiet sq. sample on the bottom. Can’t miss with both.
Climate-Proof Mats
In the event you want a boot tray, you in all probability want an indoor climate mat, proper? We like ones which can be easy, have a pleasant impartial shade, and a refined sample. This one is nice as a result of it actually checks these containers, and should you examine it, this pet is sturdy. This slender measurement is nice too for smaller or extra narrower areas.
Two extra choices! The blue one jogs my memory of the one in Em’s mudroom, nevertheless it additionally is available in quite a lot of different colours, and I LOVE the dot sample on the brown one (which additionally jogs my memory of the one in Em’s mudroom:)).
Reminiscence Foam Rug Pad
Em has been utilizing this precise rug pad since her LA days, and as somebody who has had the pleasure of strolling on it, it’s soooooo good. I’ve needed one for a very long time, and 2026 would be the 12 months. Right here’s what she mentioned about it in 2020:
“With what looks like 1/2″ of reminiscence foam, this rug pad (mixed with this comfortable rug) is SO COMFY. We initially purchased it as a result of our first Persian rug was fairly skinny and I needed concussion-free wrestling durations. It isn’t simply non-slip, it provides not less than 1/2″ of underfoot critical reminiscence foam consolation. The one draw back is that should you get it EXACTLY the scale of your rug then you’ll be able to see the sting of it, however should you get it an excessive amount of smaller then you’ll be able to see the road beneath the place it ends. So I ended up chopping an inch or two off so the rug simply barely goes over it. Not everyone seems to be as into consolation as I’m however I feel these little issues are unconscious indicators that say, ‘are available in, sit, chill out, keep awhile,’ which is how I need us to really feel in our residence.”
Pillow Inserts
I only in the near past changed my pillow inserts, and wow, do I discover a distinction! If you’re available in the market, one of many reviewers mentioned this about these ones:
“You already know these resort pillows that all of us love a lot. Nicely, these are these pillows. They aren’t too gentle to the place your head sinks down into the pillow, and also you get up with a criminal in your neck, and so they aren’t too agency if you really feel such as you slept on a brick all night time and get up with a stiff neck…”
Bought? Ya, me too.
Nightstands With Charging Stations
Why not have your nightstands work even higher for you and have a built-in charging station? If you’re somebody who leaves their telephone in one other room whilst you sleep, you’re my hero. However for the remainder of us, the concept of getting the simplest entry to a charging port for one among our many gadgets sounds fairly superb. However primary and overly fashionable nightstands should not actually our choice. As an alternative, have a look at how nice these fashionable conventional ones are. The black ones have cleaner strains and that cute open nook over their two drawers, whereas the sunshine toned ones have these great rounded toes. No dropping with both of those choices.
Listed here are some extra fashionable choices. The fluting on the MCM-inspired one is the proper element for simply sufficient visible texture (additionally solely $130). Then how cool is the extra postmodern one! Its form is fashionable, and the wooden texture is so organic-looking and exquisite. Only a nice possibility for an attractive however surprising piece (and on the nice worth of $165).
Storage Finish Of Mattress Benches
As I’m certain lots of you understand, EHD LOVES an end-of-bed bench. Make it a storage bench?? Chef’s kiss. So once I noticed this one I knew I needed to embrace it. So fairly, elegant, AND sensible.
This bench (as confirmed by these images) is ideal for both an entry, hallway, or finish of the mattress, and so forth. The colours are nice, the type is traditional, and from the seems of it, it has a good quantity of storage. No notes.
I really feel like this one is a sneaky storage bench. While you have a look at it, you don’t instantly assume “storage bench.” The type is flexible, the colour is impartial however enjoyable, and since it’s 100% upholstered, it seems cozy too:) All the benches are round $200, which isn’t unhealthy in any respect.
Jewellery Group
Let’s simply say most of my costume jewellery is in a really fairly pink Deliberately Clean shoe field. Not a horrible answer, nevertheless it’s not an awesome one or one I wish to show. These two, then again, are a distinct story. In the event you learn any pattern posts from final 12 months or Arlyn’s 2026 shade pattern publish from Wednesday, then you understand mild blue is one among THE colours presently. It took me unexpectedly final 12 months, too, and I couldn’t like it extra. So if you wish to dip your toe into the icy blue world, this mild blue jewellery field is ideal. However you’re extra of a traditional pure wooden tone individual and have the funds to go just a little over $100, this walnut magnificence is a no brainer. If I have been additional alongside in my rest room design, I might be having a VERY onerous time selecting between these two.
However possibly you’re like, “Jess, aren’t you cute together with your three little drawers, however that’s NOT going to chop it for my jewellery assortment.” Honest! So then right here is an possibility that may be wall-mounted or hung over a door. And never solely do you get a major quantity of bijou storage, however you get a wall mirror too! In addition they are available in different enjoyable colours if black doesn’t work together with your total type.
Now this jewellery armoire says to all of those earlier choices, “maintain my beer” when it opens up and divulges SEVEN drawers, two doorways for hanging items, AND a prime compartment with a mirror. I feel the following step up from this could be a jewellery closet. It’s easy, trendy, and provides you a lot unimaginable storage!
Twine Administration
It’s 2026, and should you someway don’t have a whole lot of cords to handle, then I’m very impressed! I really feel that the majority of us there’s not less than one space in our residence the place the cords are uncontrolled, and these cute little containers can assist handle the twine chaos. The white one is supposed to kind of camouflage into the background with its easy, modern strains. The inexperienced one is extra of a “present me off” gal with that enjoyable shade and funky texture. One thing for everybody…
…except you favor a pure materials like this excellent woven basket possibility! Once more, you’ll be able to’t go flawed.
If nothing else, I hope this publish was just a little further encouragement to maintain going with these little enhancements in no matter manner you would like. Wayfair is, in fact, simply such an unimaginable useful resource that we predict ought to all the time be a spot to search for nice items that make your private home and life higher…at nice costs. Hope you all have an excellent and protected weekend.
Love you, imply it.
