Objects that fully deserve their own moment.

The kind where I stop what I'm doing and think, no, I have to tell people about this. This is that collection. From a wall mural that doubles as fancy wallpaper to a sun catcher that'll turn your windows into a daily light show, plus mirrors, curtains, and little extras that make a room feel so incredibly put together, these are the pieces that don't blend into the background. And frankly, it'd be rude of me not to share.

Promising review: "Absolutely stunning and everything I wanted — looks way better and more vivid IRL. I almost didn't buy this because the colors look so dull and old-school in the pics, and I wanted a more modern glam look. This was perfect. Took two of us to install and three-ish hours with breaks. Took the advice of previous reviewers and bought premixed paste from The Home Depot. Definitely don't go easy on the paste; you need enough on the wall to make it easier to adjust and align. Don't worry too much about the bubbles; once it dries down, it all adheres nicely. My guess is the bubbles are excess paste. The quality of this paper is thick and not sheer at all. However, I do think it will look nicer if there's a lighter color under it to begin with. For the price, this is definitely worth it and then some. I would have paid much more for this had I seen it in person. You won't regret it. :)" —Almond Joy

Promising review: "Love these pillow cases! Not only are they a great color and texture for decor, but they are also great to sleep on and keep you cool and comfortable through the night! They are extremely soft and comfortable. I have not experienced any shrinkage with them! You can not go wrong with these, especially for the price!" —Ashley Long

"Needed some satin pillowcases because as a natural hair girlie, I prefer to sleep on those when I don’t feel like wearing a bonnet. These are so pretty and so soft! They’re huge, the color is fabulous, and they feel so buttery soft. It’s truly like sleeping on a cloud." —Brittney Dina Joseph

Get them from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in four sizes and 31 colors).

Promising review: "Soooo pretty and makes the room dance with glittery disco spots. It’s such a whimsical little addition to the plant window." —KB 

Promising review: "Love the colors on this rug!!! This little rug is so pretty and fits my office space great. It’s so soft and doesn’t shed at all. Normally, I worry about getting tired of a pattern or too many colors, but I just love how this looks — it’s happy and adds character to my space. Best part was the price." —Kistler

"I love it. Easy to clean, and they are soft. I've washed them a couple of times, and they are still holding up. The colors are bright and pretty." —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $15.79+ (available in 12 sizes and seven colors).

Promising review: "I am IN LOVE. I bought this to use as a backsplash in my rented studio apartment kitchen, which has the potential to be pretty but really needs some help. I ordered two rolls, thinking that if I liked it in my kitchen, I’d order more to use on the wall behind my bar cart. I loved it so much when it came in that I decided to go ahead and put it up on the big wall and deal with the kitchen later. The pattern is so easy to line up, and it looks so good! My tiny, dark apartment instantly looked bigger and brighter. Even up close, I can’t tell where the seams are. It was super easy to put up by myself, though I would recommend having another person to help if possible, because it would have taken a lot less time if I’d had someone to hold it steady while I lined up the edges. If I could give 6 stars, I would. It’s expensive but worth every penny!" —Lizzy

I bought three of these for my child's nursery when she started to crawl, and she actually used them to learn to crawl up and even stand. When she's playing with her toys, I often find myself sitting on one so I can comfortably play with her, and I sometimes use it as a backrest against her crib, too. 

Promising review: "My husband and daughter made fun of me for purchasing a 'floor pillow'…but guess who uses it all the time? They do! It’s a great pillow — comfortable, wears well, and easy to store (I just slide it between our bookcase and couch)." —Brittany 

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in eight colors and two styles). 

Promising review: "After looking for an arched mirror for my apartment, I decided to buy this piece instead of dropping $400+ on one from Crate & Barrel or Urban Outfitters. And it’s PERFECT. Already assembled and exactly what I was hoping for. If you’re looking for an arched mirror and don’t want to spend major coin, I can’t recommend this mirror enough." —Garrick Patterson

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three finishes and eight sizes).

Promising review: "For me, it's the perfect height. Placed in a planter, and I loved it even more. Easy to assemble. You can bend the leaves in whatever direction you want. Initially, they come out of the package straight. There are no cons for this plant. I think it will work well in any space. I might purchase another one." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is my favorite vase! It's beautiful for a centerpiece on my dining table. Love the print, the quality, and the size. Very unique. Already received tons of compliments." —Laura Demetrious

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in black or white and packs of one or two).

Promising review: "I really love this item so much!! It’s so beautiful and at a good price point for the material and quality. Came in less than a week, I recommend this 10/10. Loved that you didn’t need to put together, it came already assembled." —Michael Hebner

Get it from Amazon for $108.99+ (available in five styles).

J.bird Artisan Concrete is a woman-owned small business based in North Carolina making handcrafted concrete decor.

Promising review: "The incense holder is a true dream! I am extremely picky and had not been able to find an incense holder that spoke to me. Until I found this one. Even better in person than it is in pictures. Made to order but came super fast. Great quality and beautiful!" —Charlie Parks Tokieda

Get it from J.bird Artisan Concrete on Etsy for $25 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "Bought the bronze color and it is just beautiful. It's weighty and looks of good quality and workmanship but is not so heavy that it’s hard to work with if you want to lean it or hang it. I wanted the Primrose from Anthropologie but it's hard to pay that price. This mirror is quality and has a lot better price. Move over, Primrose. I love it!." —Joni Bell

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in five colors and 10 sizes).

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with all things bows, so these are perfect. They look expensive but aren’t!" —Taylor Romano

Get it from Amazon for $22.79+ (available in black or gold).

Promising review: "The light is nice! It’s a unique-looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is that I wish the cord were clear instead of black; it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I’d definitely recommend it to others." —Carmelita Joy

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in four colors).

all4candle is a woman-owned small business based in Winnipeg, Canada making hand-poured candles in small batches. 

Promising review: "So so happy with my purchase. The smell is amazing, they look great, and they are so different. The seller was so nice writing to me to let me know when it would be shipped. The packaging was nice, and [the seller] even added a little gift in my order, which is very appreciated! 10/10 recommend. Would also make a great gift!" —Fany

Get it from all4candle on Etsy for $7.64+ (available in 21 styles and 11 scents).

Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio, so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall." —J.B.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "Not one single thing is aesthetically pleasing about my bathroom except this rug. It makes me smile. Very soft, no loose pieces. The backing seems sturdy enough on ceramic tile, but it did come with some Velcro strips, I guess, if you need to secure it to the floor. Mine is in front of the sink, not the shower, so I'm not too worried about it slipping." —Allison

Promising review: "My daughter loves this mirror. Very unusual. Good quality." —Linny

Some reviewers note that they're way easier to hang up if you leave the strings tied, then untie them once you have the lights mounted where you want them. Also, try layering them with some sheer curtains.

Promising review: "It's been a couple of years since I've had these, but THEY ARE GREAT. I bought the curtain and lights separately and used them to create an accent wall in my teeny tiny NYC apartment. I got tons of compliments on them, and it was SO easy to set up. I just used thumbtacks to place it into the wall (probably not the best idea, but hey, it worked)." —katrinaforreal

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two different colors)

Promising review: "This is a fantastic lamp for a limited space. It assembles pretty easily and looks very stylish. The gold is a gorgeous color!" —Emily van den Berg

Promising review: "These are beautiful curtains! Certainly feel like they are from a swanky hotel. They are right in the middle of heavy to light. I don’t use them for blackout purposes, only for decor. They would block light, but it wouldn’t be fully blackout. For the price, you can’t beat the quality and the look." —Jennifer Lou

Get it from Amazon for $31.34+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).

Promising review: "I think this curtain rod is a great product. It is well-made, has good hardware, and is a good price for this quality. I have purchased a total of three now. I love the matte gold in my modern farmhouse style home. It is a nice dark matte gold, rather than some products that are more yellow gold. I have a big window in my dining room that has quite a bit of weight on the curtain rod from velvet drapes, and it is not sagging at all. This will be my go-to curtain rod for my entire (new) home." —Aerus

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five widths and three colors).

Promising review: "I just needed something to add visual interest and some height for my entryway decor, and fake because my kid will destroy anything and everything. Also, I didn’t require a lot since the vase I chose is pretty narrow, so one bunch of five was perfect! They came individually wrapped, then wrapped all together in bubble wrap, so they were completely beautiful after unwrapping." —MrsHReadsALot 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors and multiple quantities).

Base Roots is a woman-owned small business based in Las Vegas.

Promising review: "I'm an incoming freshman this fall, and I bought this to add some personality to my dorm. It has beyond exceeded my expectations! I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed, as shown in the display photos, and I am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the gray/white color scheme I was going for, and I have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they visited. I cannot stress enough how much of an 'aesthetic feel' it adds to my dorm." —jhsgf

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two styles and gold or silver).

The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation yourself. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

Promising review: "For the price you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).

Quadrostyle is a woman-founded brand from Aussie designer Gabrielle Morabia. With operations based in Bali and an HQ in the South of France, Quadrostyle embraces all corners of the globe and takes inspiration from the traditional tiles found in the Mediterranean, Latin America, and Scandinavia.

Promising review: "What a great upgrade to my very old, tired stairs — the product shipped quickly, was very forgiving as I worked with it, and it only took a couple of hours to complete the project. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!" —Valerie

Get it from Quadrostyle on Etsy for $14.93+ (available in six heights and two finishes).
