An upholstered bedroom wall. It's super expensive, collects dust, is tough to clean, and got really boring really quickly.

This cute goose has a magnetic beak that can hold your keys, glasses, scissors, or whatever metal thing you're always misplacing. Set it on a desk, shelf, or entryway table, and suddenly losing your things will be way less common. As one shopper raved, "This goose has been the perfect little addition to my vanity. Overall, he's super cute, but he can also hold stuff as heavy as my pocket knife, and he's the perfect size to hold my hair ties."

In some ways, modern life is easier than ever. In other ways, it's so unnecessarily complicated. Luckily, there are many innovations that simplify getting dressed, self-care routines, and sprucing up a home. Whether you're looking for time-saving beauty hacks, chic clothes that feel like pajamas, or easy design elements that transform your home, these bougie things make everything in your life look better - with way less cost or effort than you'd expect.

"Pinterest is a uniquely visual platform, so our trend analysis goes beyond search queries," the report said. "We look at the complete picture-the colors, aesthetics and styles people are drawn to." The company tracked increases in searches from September 2024 to August 2025. By the numbers: Pinterest's trend predictions have been 88% accurate over the past six years, the company said. 67% of the 2026 trends are driven by Gen Z.

Ensuring guests have fresh bath towels during the holidays is the ultimate luxury any host can arrange - extra points for options that feel like they've just come from a five-star resort. If you're looking to give your stash of guest bathroom towels a refresh, Costco has designer-looking towels on sale right now for just $8, and they'll add a pop of color while giving your space a bohemian look.

When it comes to shopping for sofas, AT editors have learned a thing or two over the years. They've tested literally hundreds (I mean, have you seen our Personal Shopper series?)across every design aesthetic, from modern and contemporary to coastal and boho. But of all the designs we've looked at, mid-century modern sofas are by far the most popular. I get it - the clean lines, retro vibe, and subtle angles are undeniably stylish.

Create a cozy ambience and skip the fire hazard with this five-piece flameless candle set. The LED candles come in four heights and feature embedded light strings that mimic the flicker of the faux wicks. They include a remote control that allows you to adjust brightness, switch between a flickering and regular light mode, set a timer for two, four, six, or eight hours, and turn the candles on and off.

One of the newest additions to Dollar Tree's wide-ranging inventory is a variety of little woven baskets. They have a rustic wicker-style look and come in several designs, including classic tan with white or black rims, and one basket that's entirely white with black accents that look almost like wicker polka-dots. Dollar Tree's site says designs can vary by store, but either way, they all retail for just $1.25 apiece.

I started my career as a New York City shopping reporter writing about sales and deals, and even though I've transitioned to covering online shopping, I'm still a sucker for a good store experience. One store I always have a good time wandering around in is The Home Depot. It's where I bought my current apartment's custom-fit shades and the extra shelves I put up in the kitchen.

A piece of decor that some might have once snubbed has come back in style, and that's the TV tray. First advertised in 1952, TV trays were typically sold in folding sets of four. Though it is tricky to track down exactly who invented the moveable object, the invention soon permeated all layers of society, even reaching the presidential household, before falling from grace.

I recently got inspired by a trend on Nuuly, a clothing rental platform, called "The Wrong Jacket." It's all about pairing an unexpected coat choice - whether that's the proportion of the jacket, the color, or its texture - with your outfit (think: an oversized blazer with track pants, for example.) It's kind of the unexpected red theory of the fashion world.

Having a separated entryway or mudroom area is nice, but in many homes, the front door opens straight into the living area. That was the way Erika Ver's (@ peonyandhoney) home is set up, and for a long time, the first view anyone got when coming in was a blank wall. "I put a console table there and put my TV above it, but it just never had that "wow" factor," Erika says. "It's the first thing you see when you walk into our home, so I wanted this wall to have an impact!"

When it comes to holiday decorating, pool noodles are basically a layperson's floral foam block - but in a large size well-suited for a banister or a mantel - and in a bendier material that makes them perfect for wrapping around archways and edges. Do you have an arch-shaped window or door? A circular mirror? An oval coffee table that could use a little more pizzazz for your holiday party? Wrap a pool noodle around the edge, then fill in with garland.

When my sconce arrived, I was pleased to find it had some weight to it, making it feel far more luxe than its price tag would suggest. The glass is super heavy and thick, in a beautiful tulip shape - and the bulb comes with all sorts of colors, and can be dimmed to your preferences.

The secret is in pleat tape, which Dalton threads through the back tabs to help give the top of the curtain more structure. Then, he makes even folds across the top edge of the curtain, adding a curtain clip to pinch each into place. The result: The curtain doesn't sag or droop between the clips, making it look a whole lot sleeker and way more expensive (even though the pleat tape only cost $15!).

Sometimes an item is just so good that you simply must buy multiples of it. Whether it's a set of wine glasses or the softest bath towels, every so often you find something that checks every box, and therefore you end the search for anything else in that category. Those special items are essential to pay attention to, because they're a testament to how much a shopper - especially someone you trust - values them.

To say that fish are trending right now feels sort of silly, but it's true: The tinned fish frenzy that started in the wake of the pandemic has proved to have serious staying power; I've seen fish of all sorts adorning tank tops, shoulder bags, and sweaters from seemingly every it-girl brand; and there are so many aquatic-themed tableware options at this point that you could easily outfit a dinner party table entirely with fishy finds.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means so is Article's Black Friday sale. But if you're getting restless in anticipation of the marathon shopping holiday, there are a few early discounts you can shop right now. Whether you need to get a head start on your bedroom refresh or score a deal on that dining table you've been eyeing just in time for holiday hosting, Article has Scandi-inspired wares

If you've ever watched your dog or cat leap onto the bed or sofa with reckless abandon, you know the mix of pride and worry that comes with it every single time they make that jump. Pets love being close to their humans and feel safest at elevated heights, but those jumps can put a lot of strain on their joints, especially as they age or if they're recovering from injury or surgery.

If there's one thing you learn being a shopping writer, it's that Black Friday sales never come too early. Even in October, we're snooping on the early Crate & Barrel Black Friday sales to see where we can score big deals on some of our favorite sectionals, home decor, and furniture collabs (see Jeremiah Brent, Athena Calderone, and Louise Roe).

I've been really loving a touch of green in our home lately. It's always been one of my favorite colors but I didn't use it as much in my past two homes. It's a lovely accent color for our blues and neutrals. There is a lot of green outside our windows so I love how it brings the outside in and makes it all feel so peaceful and cohesive.
