Parachute has long reigned as a cult-favorite bedding and bath brand (if you’ve tried its sheets or towels…you know), but did you know it makes fab furniture, too? It launched a bedroom collection in 2021 and dropped a living room line in 2022, complete with 15 brand-new pieces—from couches to chairs and coffee tables—ready to make your home cozy and chic. To say I’m obsessed would be an understatement.
Is there anything better than a Sunday morning? The team behind Sundays doesn’t think so, which is why they named their brand after it. Each of the products is simple and cozy while still being super modern and chic. I’m obsessed with the living room furniture (this media console is calling my name) but the bed and bath pieces are also stun-ning.

I mean, I know I don’t need to explain Target to you. I really don’t. But if you haven’t filled your Big Red (virtual) Cart with furniture before, it’s time. Its selection is seemingly infinite (like, if you can’t find what you’re looking for on the Target website, then it likely doesn't exist), and it has teamed up with incredible, popular designers—like Shea McGee of Studio McGee, Justina Blakeney of Jungalow, and Chip and Joanna Gaines—to bring their designs to the masses with hella-affordable prices.
From the same owners of Wayfair, Joss & Main, and AllModern is Birch Lane, an online marketplace for furniture and home goods that's much more timeless than trendy. Think of it as a brand that both you, your mom, and your grandma could all shop at, with classic furnishings at prices you’ll actually be able to stomach. But don’t read into that too much—you’ll still find super chic things on the site.

Credit: Jung Lee New York If you’re ever in New York City, you should definitely take the time to go visit designer Jung Lee’s exquisitely-curated home goods store. It’s a truly magical place, and it’s immediately apparent that Jung has incredible taste (that’s probably why she’s been asked to plan parties for both Katy Perry and the White House!). But if the Big Apple is a little far, you can still shop her collection of decor and furniture online. You’ll find a mix of prices, colors, and design styles, so trust that there’s something for everyone, no matter what you’re looking for.
Think of your trendiest friend, then picture what you think their apartment should look like. Chances are, it could be entirely designed using pieces from Lulu and Georgia. The mid-priced home brand is basically “That Girl” in decor form, boasting interior-designer-approved furniture, lighting, wall art, and more.

When you think of Williams Sonoma, you might think of cookware, bakeware, and other kitchen essentials. But their sister store, Williams Sonoma Home, also has some gorgeous furniture to decorate the rest of the house with. The prices aren't extravagant, but the products are high-quality and a good mix of trendy and classic.
If I had to describe Castlery’s products in one word, it would be “cool.” Everything on its site is chic and modern and fun…but somehow never ventures into “this will probably be out of style in 10 years” territory. Its probably best known for its sculptural sofas, but you’d be remiss not to check out its bedframes, tables, and storage units. They’re super sophisticated and also pretty darn affordable for the quality.

If classy is what you're after, One Kings Lane is where you should be shopping. The brand has made a name for itself by producing elegant but still modern pieces that will have your mom saying, "oh wow, you're finally an adult," when she walks into your apartment for the first time.

Whether you love or love to hate Walmart, it’s hard to deny that it's got lots of options in the home decor department—and many of those options are incredibly affordable. Its website is a great place to start if you’re trying to decorate on the cheap or aren’t sure if you're ready to splurge on a trendy piece of furniture quite yet. Honestly, I got my bar cart on Walmart.com for $50 a few years ago, and we’re still going strong.
Hop on over to this site if you’re not afraid of a little color, quirky shape, or fun print. Jonathan Adler started as a potter before venturing into the design space, and his eponymous brand—which also has brick-and-mortar locations worldwide—is where you'll find over-the-top statement pieces (like the cloud-shaped couch and cube tables you see here) or unique decor for gifting.

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Eternity Modern is a direct-to-consumer furniture brand selling luxe mid-century modern pieces at reasonable prices. Many of its products are actually modeled after other famous mid-century designs—basically dupes for classic designs (FYI, they mark which products are “reproductions” on the site, so it's clear from the start). For example, these Flag Halyard-inspired chairs, and this Jorgen Hovelskov-esque harp chair.
Harvard MBA grad Nana Quagraine, who was born in Ghana and raised in South Africa, founded 54Kibo in an effort to bring African design to the masses. The site features solely products made by African designers—including gorgeous couches, ottomans, and accent tables—like the ones you see right here.

In my eyes, every piece from The Citizenry is the definition of effortlessly cool. It recently expanded its furniture selection, offering chairs, couches, beds, and more that are chic, minimalist, and fit into any neutral-centric space. If you subscribe to the Clean Girl aesthetic, this is the place for you (so much rattan, so little time!). Though the prices are higher than in big-box stores, every item is handmade using only locally sourced materials, and the company ensures fair trade, sustainable practices.
Having a comfy-cool outdoor living space is more essential now than ever (that post-COVID life!), and Outer makes all the furniture you need to turn your backyard into a fab hangout spot. It makes outdoor chairs, couches, and tables that are effortlessly chic as well as environmentally friendly and super-duper practical. Think: water- and sun-proof fabrics and built-in cushion covers.

Article started in Vancouver in 2013, and you've definitely seen its products in homes across North America in the decade since. The direct-to-consumer brand has become a fan favorite for its modern but classic furniture at prices that won't increase your heart rate. If interior design isn't really your thing, I suggest checking out its "bundles" tab—it shows you which of their products look best together, so you can add to cart with confidence.
As one of the most popular department stores in this great nation, Nordstrom truly has it all—furniture and home decor included. Its selection is anything but sparse, as it curates a variety of popular home brands, like Parachute, HAY, Le Creuset, Estelle Colored Glass, and more. While it's hard to pinpoint just one type of aesthetic you'll find here (there are so many different brands, after all!), you can expect everything to feel elevated and cool, like it was just plucked off of your FYP.
