Happy Prime Day! (I also can’t believe that phrase has entered our lexicon.) You may know July 11th and 12th as the day when people purchase air fryers, Roombas, Kindles, et. al en masse (those are all EHD-approved versions of those products, for the record), but let me tell you: THERE ARE SOME REALLY GREAT HOME DEALS THIS YEAR, TOO. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite pieces that are on sale through the end of the day tomorrow, July 12th. (And you’ll also find some fun inspiration – will you recognize all the photos? I’m curious!) And for more updates on Prime Day discounts – including our favorite practical essentials, some back-to-school and dorm room necessities, Em’s highly-recommended Turkish dish towels, and even more of our home favorites – be sure to keep an eye on our Instagram stories over the next 48 hours. ALRIGHT – preamble over – LET’S TALK SAVINGS.
Budget-Friendly Finds (+ Decorating Inspiration)
$87 Mid-Century-Style Nightstand
There’s something so charming and functional about a nightstand that mixes open and closed storage, don’t you think? This piece has classic lines, a great price tag, and a mid-toned walnut stain that’ll harmonize with the other wood pieces in your home.
59% Off, Easy-to-Customize Hall Tree with Hooks + Storage
Don’t let the white finish fool you – this hall tree is the perfect candidate for an upgrade! Case in point: the DIYed piece above, which was totally transformed with a coat of paint, some new hardware, and a bit of added moulding. The on-sale version is a great jumping-off point if you’re looking to get the built-in look without dropping $$$ on custom cabinetry, you know?
Your eyes do not deceive you – that is a king-sized bed frame for under $100 bucks. (It comes in a few colors, too!) The airy shape is perfect for those who need to place their bed directly in front of a window – do you see how the frame in Orlando’s guest room above still allows for light to flow through the space?
Easily-Customized Corner Storage Banquette
Throw a few cushions on top of this banquette (I swear by this Etsy seller, if you’re looking for something semi-custom!) and you’ve got yourself a comfortable piece that’ll jazz up your breakfast nook AND provide some much-needed extra storage.
This patio swing has some charming square arms, an easily-swapped chain (if you want to go the rope route, like Em did above!), and it won’t break the bank. Add a few cushions and you’ll have a cozy place to relax for the rest of the summer! (Bonus: Meranti wood is fairly easy to refinish or paint if you want to change things up in a few years.)
If a wooden bed frame is more your style, this spindle version is an awesome way to get the high-end look for less. Be warned, though: while reviewers love the style and aesthetic of this bed, they also warn that assembly can take a REALLY long time. (Like…REALLY LONG.) But at 5-10% of the price of similar beds…it might be worth it? (You know your patience level better than I do. Be responsible!)
CUTE. This chain is a bit more petite than the giant version we see on Sara’s coffee table above, but WHAT A DEAL. This piece is perfect for a bookshelf, a mantle, or as a finishing touch on a stack of books.
$140 Mid-Century-Inspired Desk
Something about a mid-century style desk mixed with a hit of brass, a bit of blue, and some vibrant greenery just feels SO GOOD. It’s clean, simple, and timeless – like the visual equivalent of a breath of fresh air. And at $140 bucks…what’s not to love?
$164 Bookcase with Closed Storage
This free-standing bookshelf is a sweet option for renters (or anyone who prefers to not drill mounting holes in their walls, TBH – hello to my fellow plaster wall pals!). It’s a breeze to style – art on top, books in the middle, records on the bottom – and you can shove any unsightly home necessities, like a printer, into the bottom cabinet.
Classic TV Stand (with Extra Storage!)
Nothing like a 43% off sticker to get your heart beating a little faster, no? This media stand supports TVs up to 64″ and offers built-in cable management for any of your electronic storage needs. The three drawers on the bottom are the cherry on top (they’re a great place to stash Blu-Rays, manuals, PlayStation controllers…the world’s your oyster!).
I don’t think it’s any secret that I love an antelope print rug – it’s a little more elevated, luxe, and understated than most of the animal prints we see on the market today. Comparable antelope 8×10 rugs typically run for about $700, so this is an AWESOME deal. (Might I suggest pairing it with some Evergreen Fog paint?)
SO EASY TO STYLE. Use one of these classic pieces as a dining table, or as a work station, or as a landing zone in an entryway…the options are literally endless. You can’t go wrong with a tulip table, but this marble top and fits-anywhere size make this version especially versatile.
A 7+’ Dining Table for Under $600
Tone down this ultra-glam table with streamlined vintage chairs, denim-blue linen upholstery, a woven credenza, 1960s art, and a few lighter-than-air string pieces. (Did you spot the famous cover girl piece on the left?)
A $29 Coffee Table Dupe (+ Add This Stool for a Monochrome Take On Jess’ Look!)
On the hunt for a small-space coffee table solution? WE GOT YA! Grab this simple folding table (you can use it outside, too, if your needs change in the future!) and pair it with an upholstered pouf that can double as seating when friends visit. (We also checked the measurements – these should be a perfect fit if you want to bring Jess’ whole look home!)
You can grab the original at CB2 for $349, or you could try this $59 version and take yourself out to a nice dinner with all the cash you saved.
$59 On-Trend Chrome Mushroom Lamp (+ Some Bar Stools!)
WHERE MY CHROME GALS AT? I’ll always have a soft spot for brass, but there’s something so dynamic and fresh about the chrome resurgence we’ve been seeing over the past few years – it brings a lot of life, interest, and balance to warmer-toned spaces. I love the shape and price tag of this lamp, and these stools would be showstopping with a little DIY cowhide upholstery. (I mean…aren’t the ones above SO cool?)
$145 Bookcase, Perfect for Flanking a Sofa
Pop two of these neutral-toned oak bookcases on the sides of your sofa and BAM – you’ve got a super classic look for under $300. I’m especially charmed by the curved bottom and the hardware on the lower cabinet – it’s an antique, high-end look at an achievable price point.
A Sweet $22 Mobile Wall Hanging
This piece threads the design needle perfectly – it’s a dreamy mix of graphic (the shape! The hits of black!) and quiet (interesting to look at, but not screaming for attention). Hang in a bedroom for a modern, adult take on a classic mobile!
A Modern Take on the Classic Campaign Dresser
I love campaign furniture, but it can be tricky (read: time-consuming, borderline maddening) to find affordable pieces in great condition. If you’re more of an “I want it now” type, this dresser is a great option – have seen it used in several homes on Instagram and I’m always impressed by how beautiful it looks in person.
The sheepskin rug is an EHD styling essential. Throw it on a sofa; drape it over a headboard; use one in a nursery (Emily has!); place one in your office area to make your WFH setup a little more luxurious. This sheepskin looks great with all kinds of styles AND it’s available at a great price, to boot.

Something for everyone, right? A few of these stand out in particular to me, though. #3 is CUTE – it’s hearty enough to stand alone, but it looks so sweet when paired with a second unit. (The styled product shots are very well done!) The lines on #7 are super special and interesting, too – if I saw it at a friend’s house, I’d think they were very chic. #4 and #10 are total classics – they’ll never go out of style. I’m also super impressed with the contemporary options available, like #8 and #9.

#2, #6, #8, and #10 all look like they walked straight out of a Lulu & Georgia catalog – it’s extraordinary. I added #4 to my own cart, too – I love how the roped motif is really traditional, but also a little modern and special. And man, how cute are #1 and #3? They’re perfect for adding a little texture, movement, and life in both minimalist and eclectic homes.
A Few EHD-Approved Rugs
1. Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Polly Rug | 2. Marcia Machine Washable Faux Cowhide Area Rug | 3. Montauk Collection Area Rug | 4. Jordan High-Low Pile Art Deco Geometric Indoor Outdoor Area Rug | 5.

If you’ve been eyeing a Loloi rug, you’re in luck – there are lots of fun options available, like #5, #7, and #9 (#1 is my personal favorite, though. I love the pattern!). I’m also a huge fan of #2 and #3 – they’re a little punchy, but neutral enough to work in lots of different spaces. Finally, I found myself really taken by the quiet chevron print of #6. It’s super subtle, but it does a nice job of elevating this jute rug into something a little more considered and polished.
That’s it for today! Be sure to check Em’s Instagram for updates on a few more of our favorite deals over the next two days…it’s gonna be fun, I promise. 🙂 And if there’s anything we can help you find, please drop a note! It’s literally our job to help. (What a dream!!!!) xx
