Top 10 Home Essentials

BEST DIFFUSER

LOVED FOR: Aromatherapy diffusers aren't always the most stylish items out there, but Vitruvi's is exceptionally unassuming. It looks more like a stunning piece of home decor than a diffuser, and the brand's essential oil collection is just as pretty.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Though this diffuser is pricier than most on the market, it's also a big money saver since you won't need to worry about restocking your favorite candles before they burn out. Whether it's energizing eucalyptus or lavender lulling you to sleep, a few drops of your favorite essential oil is all it takes to amp up the ambiance in your home. 

BEST ACCENT TRAY

WHY YOU NEED IT: Whether you use it to serve up charcuterie and cocktails or fill it with Instagrammable books and candles, a stylish accent tray is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to add a touch of personality to your abode.

USERS SAID: "I love the color, texture, and square shape of this tray! It's the perfect catchall for my kitchen, and it also serves nicely as a tray for morning coffee on the porch."

BEST SERVING BOWL

BEST FOR: Handcrafted from acacia wood by award-winning designer Sean O'Hara, this high-quality serving bowl set will save you when you're feeding a crowd at dinner parties, and it'll look incredibly stylish while doing it.

HELPFUL TIP: A serving bowl can also completely transform a tablescape. When it's not filled with a pretty salad or family-favorite pasta dish, let it stand out on your kitchen counter and use it to display fresh fruit from the farmer's market.

BEST UNIVERSAL WINE GLASS

LOVED FOR: Zalto's universal wine glasses are a sommelier favorite. Handblown, elegant, and extra thin, reviewers rave that wine tastes better when it's poured in these beauties, no matter the style or price of the bottle.

USERS SAID: "I hate to tell you this, but wine is better from a Zalto. I tried it with both white and red wines, tried it with different temperatures, tried it with different alcohol percentages. Each wine smelled and tasted smoother from the Zaltos."

BEST COOKWARE

WHY YOU NEED IT: Bonded with layers of steel and aluminum for durability and optimal heat conduction, All-Clad cookware performs much better than the hodgepodge of cheap pots and pans piled in your cabinets. It's also guaranteed to last a lifetime thanks to the high-grade materials, making the high price totally worth it.

USERS SAID: "These pans are AMAZING, and they cook SO evenly. I love that they go from the burner to the oven, and they're so beautiful that I can even use them to present dishes to my dinner guests. This is literally something I'm going to cook on for years to come!"

BEST THROW BLANKET

BEST FOR: Rarely does a comfortable blanket reach cult status, but this gem from Barefoot Dreams did just that. Silky, soft, and stylish, this microfiber throw will serve as both a beautiful addition to your couch and a cozy coverup when the colder weather hits.

LOVED FOR: Thanks to the easy-care fabric, this throw will never shrink, pill, or wrinkle.

BEST SILK PILLOWCASE

WHAT IT DOES: Turns out your regular old pillowcases can do some major damage in the form of bad hair days, acne, and even wrinkles. Silk pillowcases are an excellent alternative since they provide a smooth surface for your hair and skin, and they'll add a luxe touch to your bedroom, too.

STYLE WITH: You may as well grab the matching sleep mask while you're at it.

BEST BATH TOWELS:

LOVED FOR: Believe it or not, something as simple as the towels you use can make or break your bathtime experience. Parachute's 100% cotton versions are plush, super absorbent, and quick-drying, and they pretty much turn your bathroom into a spa-worthy space.

USERS SAID: "We are on a constant mission to find super soft bath towels to make the overall experience of getting out of a warm shower and stepping into cold air better. These are the best we’ve found so far. Excellent quality and SO SOFT!"

BEST COMFORTER 

WHAT IT DOES: With a combo of super-soft eucalyptus fabric and extra-fluffy recycled fill, Buffy's fan-favorite Cloud Comforter is one of the most eco-friendly options on the market, and it's actually comfortable. It's softer than cotton and far more breathable, and it'll keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

FUN FACT: This comforter has 15,000 five-star reviews. The hype is real, people.

BEST BED SHEETS

WHY YOU NEED IT: Considering the fact that we spend one-third of our lifetimes asleep (or should, at least), high-quality sheets are a must. With a 480-thread count and slightly luminous finish, these babies are ultra-soft right out of the box.

LOVED FOR: Reviewers love that the fitted sheet is designed to fit mattresses up to 15 inches deep. They'll stay put all night long—no adjustments needed.
