As much as designers love to buy one-of-a-kind pieces from small shops along the cobblestone streets of Paris, they will be the first to tell you that they still buy a few things from perhaps the most universally beloved retailer: Amazon. In case you hadn’t heard, today is the final day of Prime Day, so there are still a few hours left to score amazing deals. In fact, we asked a few of our favorite designers what they’re buying, and their answers will definitely convince you to add a few extra things to your cart.

Their picks are both practical and fun, so feel free to treat yourself to these finds. What’s more, we have a feeling that anything currently on sale will sell out by the end of the day, so if you see something you like, don’t wait to see if it gets cheaper. Trust us; now is the best time to grab one of these designer-approved products before it’s gone for good.
“A fun mirror by the front door to not only check yourself before leaving the house but also in a unique-shape that can spark a conversation. Leaning into a coastal home vibe, this Scallop Rattan Mirror under $200 is for the WIN!"
“Fashion design books are one of my favorite Amazon Prime Day finds for the home. They style beautifully on a curated coffee table vignette, are great conversation starters, and bring a chic visual read to the table.”
“These are the perfect sconces to add a custom feel to a room. They’re easy to install and an instant decorative element to upgrade a space. I love them on either side of a great piece of art or flanking a door.”
“I specify linen drapery in almost every project we do, and the boutique versions run $80 to $120 a panel easily. These hang beautifully, the texture is genuine and warm rather than that flat synthetic linen-look that photographs fine and feels wrong in person, and the way light filters through them is exactly what you want in a living room or bedroom. Soft and diffused rather than harsh. They make a room feel like a real home rather than a spec house waiting to be sold.”
"These summer blankets are made from 100 percent muslin and have a gauze-like effect. Whether you're heading to the beach, enjoying an evening fire pit, or watching a movie, these throws are the best, given their supersize! Couched in a veiled feeling, these are incredibly versatile as a bed cover and come in various shades."
"I love taking advantage of Prime Day when it comes to decor objects. A scalloped marble tray, which you can use as a cutting board to display charcuterie when hosting for guests, is a great find this year."
—Cynthia Tran, Principal Designer and founder of Cynthia Lananh
"If you have been following our work, you know that we're huge fans of these handcrafted rugs designed by Chris Loves Julia for Loloi. Their bold designs make a statement but are versatile enough to work in any space. With discounts on certain rugs of over 50 percent this Prime Day, it's the perfect time to invest."
"We all have the mismatched collection of cookware that may be banged up or the nonstick isn't working so well anymore, so take advantage of Prime Day and purchase a new set that looks just as good as the food you're cooking on it smells!" (Fun fact: If you're a fan of The Bear, the "chefs" on the show use this brand to cook with!)
"This Prime Day, I'm eyeing the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar. You can control high-quality sound and your favorite streaming with one remote or connect it to your phone to play music. It's perfect for relaxing on the couch and having background music when you have company over."
