Shopping Wayfair strategically means leaning into its selection and convenience. It has become a favorite within design circles for rugs, lighting, bedding, and even accent furniture. The sheer volume of products can be a lot to navigate, but that’s why it’s important to read reviews and look for user-uploaded images to get a real sense of the pieces. Also, don’t forget to do your homework and double-check the specifications to find high-quality materials like solid wood or marble.

Some other designer-loved brands to explore on Wayfair Professional include:

  • Arteriors
  • Loloi
  • Hudson Valley Lighting
  • Four Hands

10 Pieces I’m Loving Right Now to Refresh Your Home for Spring

1. Textural Woven Lamp

A beautifully textured table lamp with a woven natural fiber base and shade, adding warmth and an organic feel to any space. Perfect for entry tables, bedside nightstands, or accent lighting in a cozy corner.

Okay, this textural lamp is gorgeous — what a great way to infuse texture other than with a rug! Lighting is everything in a space. It’s what sets the mood, softens a room, and makes it all feel intentional. I love this look for an organic feel, and it’s so great in size! The bonus, it’s 20% less than the other sites I have seen this!

If you ever feel like your space is looking flat or too “new,” add some texture. This lamp works perfectly in an entryway, bedroom, or even a home office to soften the look of a desk. It brings that organic, high-end feel that makes a space feel curated rather than cookie-cutter.

2. Industrial Distressed Mirror

A tall, antique-inspired metal-framed mirror with a distressed finish, bringing a touch of character and depth to any space. Ideal for entryways, bedrooms, or leaning against a wall in a living room.

Mirrors are one of my favorite tricks to open up a space and bounce light around. This one has an aged, slightly industrial feel that makes it look really high-end. I love how deep the frame is too.. something different than the slim profiles we are seeing everywhere.

If you have a smaller entryway, place this above a console table to create the illusion of more space. It would also be stunning above a dresser in a bedroom—just lean it against the wall for that effortlessly cool look. What I love about rectangular mirrors is that you can really hang them whichever way you desire. Wanting to spice things up? Try hanging it horizontally!

3. The Bubble Chandelier

A striking chandelier composed of layered glass orbs with a brass chain, creating a sculptural lighting moment. Adds a modern yet whimsical touch to dining rooms, entryways, or statement ceilings.

Don’t you love when lighting feels like art? This chandelier is one of those pieces that commands attention without feeling overwhelming. It’s a great dupe of this one we installed in a client’s dining room, but this version is a fraction of the cost. It’s modern but still soft, making it work in many different spaces. And while we are at it, remember, dupes are great for certain areas (high in a staircase where no one is getting up close and personal) or maybe a second home that doesn’t get used everyday; but as my grandfather always said “you get what you pay for”!  So if you are looking to save on your lighting this is a great option.

Where I’d Hang It: Over a dining table, obviously, but also imagine this in a bedroom—unexpected, but so luxurious. If you have tall ceilings, this would be stunning in an entryway, too.

4. Burl Wood DresserA classic that never goes out of style.

A sophisticated burl wood dresser with rich, swirling wood grain and brass hardware, making a statement in any space. Perfect as a media console, entryway piece, or chic storage in a bedroom.

Burl wood is having a moment, but honestly, I think it’s timeless. The grain and depth of this piece give it that rich, designer feel without being trendy.

Why I Love It: It’s such a solid investment piece! You could put this in a bedroom and enjoy it for years, or use it as a statement storage piece in a dining room or hallway. The details—like the molding at the top—make it feel even more special.

5. Ceramic Handled Pot

A large, textured ceramic pot with sculptural handles, perfect for styling with branches, greenery, or as a standalone piece. Works beautifully on a console table, kitchen island, or as a floor vase.

Sometimes, what’s missing in a space isn’t furniture—it’s the right styling pieces. This white aged pot has that old-world, collected feel that adds instant character.

This pot would be beautiful filled with oversized branches for an organic look, or even left empty on a console or coffee table. I love using pieces like this to bring in a bit of patina and history.

6. Jute Upholstered Bench

A versatile upholstered bench with a handwoven kilim-style fabric and slim iron legs, blending vintage charm with modern appeal. Works beautifully at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or as extra seating.

A bench like this is so good because you can literally move it around your home as your needs change. Foot of the bed? Perfect. Entryway seating? Yes. Pulled up to a dining table for extra seating? Absolutely. The pattern is subtle but adds just enough interest. Try mixing a piece like this with cleaner, more modern furniture to create some juxtaposition of style.

7. Textural Shearling Tripod Chair

A cozy yet modern accent chair featuring a sculptural wooden frame with plush shearling upholstery. A perfect balance of rustic and contemporary design for living rooms or reading nooks.

I love this chair! I have been eyeing many tri-leg chairs, and this one is superb in detail. The shearling seat is to die for … and although this definitely screams mountain home, I could also see it in a home with a fun mix of curated items. Did I mention we have something on the horizon for defining your interior style? Stay tuned …

8. The Marble End Table

A luxurious solid marble side table with natural veining, offering a perfect blend of function and sculptural design. A stunning addition next to a sofa, bedside, or even as a plant stand.

A little marble table like this is one of those pieces that works in any home. The top is marble, but it’s more affordable than an all marble table with the base being made out of wood and veining detail to make it appear solid. It’s small, but packs a punch. The veining makes each one unique, and it’s just the right size to tuck into a corner without taking up much space. Place it next to a chair with a small lamp and a stack of books, or try using it as a nightstand for a more minimalist look.

9. Classic Nightstand

A timeless wooden nightstand featuring elegant dentil molding, tapered legs, and antique brass ring pulls. Ideal for traditional and transitional bedroom settings.

I always say that your nightstand should feel intentional. It’s the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing before bed, so it should be something you loveIt’s simple, but so very necessary for making your bedroom feel finished and high-end. For this option, add a sleek table lamp, a small dish for jewelry, and a couple of books. Maybe a little vase with fresh greenery. After all, keeping it simple makes it feel elevated. I love too that is a solid wood dresser (very important in the quality)

10. Glass Tulip VaseBecause fresh flowers deserve a good home.

A classic fluted glass vase with an elegant tulip shape, perfect for displaying fresh flowers, dried stems, or as a decorative standalone piece on a dining table or mantle.

A tall, delicate vase like this instantly makes any arrangement feel more polished. Even without flowers, it adds a little elegance to a space. In case you missed it, we just made an entire video on how to arrange grocery store flowers to make it look like a luxury bouquet. Check it out and save it for your next special occasion!

New project in Bend, Oregon.🤍

We just signed on with the sweetest family, and one of the first things they said was, “We don’t really love our house.” A home can be objectively beautiful and still not feel good to live in.

In this house, the kitchen, dining room and living room are all one big great room. It sounds ideal until you realize the dining table is taking up the exact real estate the living room desperately needs.

Instead of making the kitchen bigger, we’re making it smarter. One move solved several problems at once: more storage, a better dining area, and enough square footage to give the living room the footprint it deserved.

Now we’re moving into one of my favorite phases... layering in materials. This is why I love the conceptual phase. Before a single cabinet is ordered, we’re already changing the way this family will live in their home.

If you’ve been looking around your own home thinking, “I know this could work better, I just don’t know how,” we’d love to help. Whether you’re planning a renovation, reworking your layout, or just need an expert eye before making expensive decisions, that’s exactly what we have to offer!

Check out our services through the link in our bio or send this post to a friend who’s struggling with this exact thing.
While renovations are an investment, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned after years of designing homes is this:
It’s not about how much you spend. It’s about where you spend it.

The homes that feel the most elevated aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets. They’re the ones where every decision was made with intention.

That’s the philosophy behind everything we do. We help our clients understand where it’s worth investing, where they can save without sacrificing the overall look, and how to create a home that feels layered, timeless, and beautifully functional. Because a thoughtfully planned home will always feel more luxurious than one filled with expensive choices that don’t work together.

Good design isn’t about spending more.
It’s about making every dollar work harder for you-and creating a home you’ll love living in every single day.

People often ask why renovations have always been my favorite. The easy answer is that I love watching a transformation. But if I’m honest, I think it’s something much deeper than that.

Years ago, our family walked through a season that forced us to start over. It wasn’t something I would have chosen, but looking back, it changed the way I see everything. Homes. People. Even myself. I stopped looking at what something was and started paying attention to what it could become. Maybe that’s why fixer-uppers have always felt so familiar to me. I know what it’s like to feel like you’re starting over. I know what it’s like to wonder if something beautiful can come from a season that feels uncertain. That’s why I love renovations. They’re hopeful. Every wall that comes down makes room for something new. Every decision is an act of believing that what’s ahead can be better than what was there before.

The funny thing is... I don’t think this is really about houses. I think all of us have something in our lives that feels unfinished, overlooked, or in need of another chance. I’ve learned that the middle of the story rarely looks like the ending. And sometimes the most beautiful things aren’t built from scratch. They’re simply revealed.
For anyone who’s ever had to start over... I’m rooting for you!
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the little things.
After moving across the country, leaving behind everything we’d known, and living in the middle of a major renovation, I’ve realized that joy isn’t waiting for me on the other side of a finished house.

It’s in the fresh flowers on the counter.
The windows open on a summer morning.
A glass of rosé at the end of the day.
Clipping greenery from the yard.
Lighting a candle just because.

These small rituals have become the way I slow down, stay present, and make this house feel like home-even while it’s still a work in progress.

ICYMI, I wrote all about this in my post “A Home That Feels Like Summer.” It’s a collection of the simple rituals, thoughtful edits, and favorite finds that are helping me embrace this season instead of waiting for the next one.

You can read the full story through the link in our bio.🤍
For a long time, I lived with a “one day” mindset.
One day, when the house is finished...
One day, when life slows down...
One day, when there’s something to celebrate.

But moving across the country, leaving behind everything familiar, and renovating a home while living in it has taught me something I never expected.

If I keep waiting for the perfect moment, I’ll miss the life that’s unfolding right now. So now I set the table on an ordinary Tuesday. I buy the flowers. I light the candles. I pour the wine. Not because everything is perfect. Because it isn’t.

It’s because I’ve learned that every season of life is worth enjoying—even the messy, unfinished, uncertain ones.
Ironically, some of my favorite memories have been made in a home covered in dust, with projects half finished and paint samples still on the walls.

Maybe that’s the real purpose of a home. Not to impress people. But to remind us to slow down, gather together, and find beauty in the season we’re living in.
