Set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and four pillowcases. Twin and Twin XL sets only include two pillowcases.Promising review: "These sheets are nice and big! The fitted sheet has deep pockets so I don't think they'll be coming off a corner unless I take it off. The flat sheet is incredibly long so it won't be popping out the bottom of my bed like my previous sheets. In addition to their great size, they are very soft feeling." —krissyPrice: $29.07+ (originally $45.99+; available in sizes twin–California king and 19 colors)
A unique velvet accent pillow so chic it might just trick your friends into thinking you hired a designer. It's bold, it's plush, and it knows it's not just here to accessorize — it's here to steal the show.
Promising review: "Love this pillow. It is large, about the width of a king pillow case. It's my favorite throw pillow for my bed and frankly the entire house. I bought this on a whim and am so happy I have. Love this!" —Target ShopperPrice: $40 (available in two colors)
A 100% French linen duvet cover that's so cozy it should honestly come with a warning label. One snuggle session and you'll be canceling plans with the confidence of someone who values sleep above all else.
Also available as a set with two matching shams.Promising review: "By far my favorite duvet cover! This is very high quality linen and not rough feeling at all. I've had it for almost a year now and it does not look worn even with regular washing in hot water and tumble dry. It has a nice weight to it and great for all seasons because linen is a temperature regulating material." —TargetGirlPrice: $173.59+ (available in sizes twin–California king and 16 colors/patterns)

Promising review: "I use this as my alarm clock. The light feature that turns on 15 minutes prior to my set alarm time is wonderful! It slowly gets brighter and I am always awake before the alarm sounds. It's nice to not wake up the whole house. The night light feature options are very pretty and nice to have just before going to sleep." —JBPrice: $30
A memory foam down alternative pillow because it fluffs like a dream and supports like a loyal friend. Toss your flat, sad excuse of a pillow and start sleeping like the royalty you clearly are.
Promising review: "I chose this over another $140 pillow… and it's probably the best pillow I've ever tried. I'm a side sleeper and this provided enough support so that my head doesn't sink in too much, but is also soft and cushiony enough so my head/neck isn't forced up as I sleep.

Set includes a comforter and two shams.Promising review: "I honestly wish they had more colors of this! I have the pink/mauve color, which is definitely a cool-toned pink, almost lavender color. It's gorgeous but doesn't really match the colors I'm wanting to have in my bedroom, but I love the comforter so much I might make it work. I've been using this comforter for two years now, washed it several times, and it's still like new. My cat has even gotten sick on it and it cleaned perfectly. It keeps me warm but not hot and is fluffy enough and large enough to cover my bed. I love how soft this is and might have to get another as a backup in case they stop making them." —JennakPrice: $69+ (available in sizes full–king and three colors)
A simple but super useful nightstand with enough storage to handle your nightly chaos: half-read books, rogue chargers, lip balm graveyard, all of it. And yes, it still looks clean and cute.
Promising review: "I've been looking for a nightstand to replace my old one for a while now, and this fit the bill perfectly! For reference, I assembled this on my own, and it took me a little over an hour from opening the box to moving it to my bedside. It has way more storage than I could ever need — seriously, between the three drawers and top, I feel like I'm totally set. It looks great next to my bed as well, and is such an upgrade from my old nightstand! If you're on the fence, go for it. This nightstand brings me a lot of joy!" —LeahPrice: $200 (originally $221)
A wall sconce light that looks expensive, but plugs in like a budget pick. Add instant ambience without committing to drywall damage you'll regret later.
Promising review: "Elegant and affordable sconces, whether you want to hard wire or use the built-in cord. We had the same issue as other reviewers with the base not sitting flush against the wall; it's the green ground screw in the mounting bracket! Simply back it out a little more and it will not stick out as much, making the base nice and stable." —ReviewPrice: $79.99
A silk pillowcase to keep your skin smooth, your hair less messy, and your vibe pure elegance. Sleeping on anything else suddenly feels like a personal betrayal.
Promising review: "I've had this pillowcase for a year now and decided a review is due. This pillowcase would have to be one of my most successful purchases. The price was steep for a pillowcase but I needed to try something for my hair loss and frizz. I was worried it would pill but it is still just as silky after one year. My hair no longer sheds or falls out all over my bed or in the shower. It's made such a difference. Highly recommend." —DnznsjPrice: $30 (available in two sizes and in gray)
A weighted microfiber blanket that's basically a full-body hug. It holds you just right, calms the chaos in your brain, and might even trick you into sleeping like a responsible adult.

I have mine displayed on my windows, and I receive so many compliments. It makes me happy and it brings a smile to my neighbors' faces as well." —KimPrice: $15
A tufted bench that sits pretty at the end of your bed while hiding all the stuff you don't want to look at. Chic, sneaky, and surprisingly useful — just like you.
Promising review: "Perfect addition to our bedroom! Classy navy blue. Sturdy for sitting while putting on shoes and hinge/top feels well-made. Fabric is soft. Good amount of storage inside, which we are using for sheets /books/misc. and love it!" —SPPrice: $220 (available in three colors)
A fun and practical laptop desk with adjustable legs, a tiny drawer, and ventilation holes so your laptop stays cool while you binge Bridgerton for the third time. Who needs a home office when your bed can do both jobs?

A projector with a built-in speaker turns your ceiling into a personal movie screen. Ideal for watching TikToks, binging your comfort show, or falling asleep to ambient YouTube vibes.

A fleece blanket so soft, you'll start canceling plans just to hang out with it. It's like a warm, fluffy excuse to never leave your bed again (and honestly, we admire that).
Promising review: "Absolutely love this blanket! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. First bought for our guest bedroom and received so many compliments I bought one for every bedroom in the house. So very comfortable and not too thick or too thin." —KikiPrice: $20 (available in two sizes and in gray)

Set includes a comforter and two pillow shams.Promising review: "This is a great comforter. My husband and I are hot sleepers and usually cannot use a comforter. We bought this one hoping the fabric would be cooler. This is the first comforter we have ever used that doesn't make us hot or sweat and still keeps us warm. Very happy with it. The look and quality are nice, fits our king bed good." —NicolePrice: $99+ (available in sizes full–king and eight colors)
A fleece bed rest pillow turns your bed into a throne and your posture into something vaguely ergonomic. Whether you're working, reading, or doom-scrolling, you'll never want to sit upright without it again.
Promising review: "Omg can I say how comfy and supportive this pillow is?? Ive always had trouble sitting down properly in bed to read. Always had back pains as well as elbow pain from reading. This has been such a game changer! So comfy and soft! The material is great quality. I love it!" —Glitz95Price: $20 (also available in gray)
A bedside lamp with marble base that's giving "chic hotel suite," but your wallet doesn't even flinch. It's the perfect little glow-up for your nightstand.

5 Sunny Nail Designs That Are Perfect For The Summer Heatwave
Great news for all sun-seekers: these last few weeks of the summer are set to be sunny and bright, which means there's really no better time to embrace something that's equally vibrant, light-hearted and fun (yet no less refined) for your summer manicure. Sunny nail designs with pops of yellow and orange are still incredibly popular for the warmer months, while polka dots and French manicures prove to be the celebrity favourite, as spotted on Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner. Elsewhere, whimsical fruit designs are an eclectic and charming way to lean into the laidback mood of summer. But if you're looking for something fresher and unexpected, consider the 'Ariel manicure', the modern, grown-up take on sea-life motifs and oceanic colourways that will no doubt please the sea princess. For fans of aura nails, the zodiac manicure is equally enigmatic and brings a sense of magic to your look. This is a great time to make the most of punchy hues, too. Whether done in stripes or as a single-tone manicure, opt for summer's trendiest nail colours such as butter yellow and hot pinks. Modern art designs are also incredibly smart yet no less eye-catching. Consider leaning into your artistic side with a Warhol-ian use of contrasting colour combinations or Yayoi Kusama-esque dotty designs. Or, why not lean into Riviera nails with bold stripes and the use of coastal, beachy hues such as blue, white, orange and yellow. Minimalists, don't fret. All of these maximalist trends can easily be adapted onto an understated 'soap nail' base for a more discreet interpretation. There truly is something for everyone. Go all out with tactile 3D motifs, shimmery metallic periwinkle and a glorious starfish design. Minimalists, we see you. Go discreet and understated with a barely-there base and opt for a low-key, tiny design on each nail. Is it just us or would these pearly nails look perfect for a beachside wedding? Whether you've got a last minute vacay booked or not, this holiday-themed set will transport you to bustling farmer's markets and seaside cafes. Dial up the baby blue manicure with impactful turquoise for sunnier days. Soft lemonade yellow and glossy aquamarine make for an impossibly fresh colour combination. Get playful with varying textures and cool colour ways such as retro blue and earthy pistachio green. Trust manicurist Betina Goldstein to elevate unexpected colour combinations in the most elegant way possible. Polka dots are here to stay. Go all out with a punchy, hi-vis colour palette that's guaranteed to stop traffic. A natural progression from the aura nails, a zodiac-coded design in a moody hue is perfect for those who embrace a deeper colour palette all year round. This magical violet set is made for Cancer season, but can easily be tailored to your star sign. Fiery and dramatic, perfect for the Leos. It's not one for the faint of heart, but in these last few weeks of summer, it's worth going the extra mile. A blossoming, colourful bouquet promises to instantly lift your spirits. The cool girl take on flowers? Not shying away from richer cocoa hues and a mix-and-match set. Medina Azaldin is the beauty editor of ELLE and Harper's Bazaar UK, working across print and digital features. She has more than seven years journalism experience and has previously written for Red and Good Hoousekeeping. When she's not demystifying the latest skincare ingredient, sniffing out the next big perfume trend or uncovering the science behind wellness practices, you'll most likely find her in Hatchards Piccadilly or watching a crime series with her cats. Oh, and she's a competitive cheerleader, too.

Host Fancy Nights In: 37 Essentials For Home Soirées
A lidded charcuterie board to help you prep the perfect spread ahead of time and keep it in the fridge and/or covered before its great reveal. It'll also come in handy when prepping to serve your charcuterie somewhere else because this is built to travel with wells for different elements and a locking lid. A shaker of edible cocktail glitter can jazz up anything you're drinking without compromising the taste or consistency of your beloved lemonade Crystal Light packet you mixed with vodka because we have cocktails at home. Take it from someone who's used it, a little goes a loooong way. Big Dip Energy, my pal Alyse's dip-centric cookbook CHOCK full of crowd-pleasing recipes that'll be way more scrumptious than whatever "elevated" French onion dip you ordered at your last happy hour. I've taste-tested about a dozen of these recipes and can confirm that if you'd like to just eat dip as a meal for the rest of your life (same), then you need this in your life. A trio of nesting cabbage serving bowls to awe and delight when you dump a bag of a novelty potato chip flavor you took a gamble on into the largest one. (Zapp's Cajun-Dill Gator Tators? Sure!) Plus, they're great for everyday use! You don't have to (and shouldn't) reserve the fun stuff for when you have guests. A pair of grooved paddles will help you make butter balls to serve with sliced sourdough or even gnocchi if you're feeling REAL ambitious. Cue to me remembering how I just paid $15 for two (quite good!) dinner rolls and a dab of butter at a NYC wine bar.... A quilted chenille floor pillow can help out if you're short on seating and use floor space when you entertain. Now you're halfway to a pillow fort — which also could be fun to do at home! A set of spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags if deep down, all you want to do is sip a marg the size of your head with your pals while you go IN on some queso and chips. With these beauts, you simply steep in cold water and tequila (unless you're going the mocktail route) for your next-to-no-effort marg. Or some Espresso Martini Instant Cocktail Tea Bags from the same company if you aren't hoping everyone will leave by 9 p.m. Heck, it's Thursday night and everyone's in their comfy cozies. There are worse things! Some ~spiral~ taper candles that'll deliver a whole lot more pizzazz than the regular ones. If you're looking to bit of a tablescape on the cheap, these are great and look splendid unlit. Or flameless LED "candles" can flicker like the real thing and bring some ambiance where you want, also like the real thing! Except without worrying about having to babysit them. A faux poenies bouquet that'll run you less than if you bought an actual bouquet once. (But still more expensive than just picking some from your you shouldn't do that without permission.) A bottle of truffle seasoning, because at this point, I think I've spent a small fortune on truffle fries outside of my home. Time to start whipping 'em up myself with some frozen french fries! A set of petite vintage-inspired spoons guests can use to serve themselves up some dipping sauces or condiments, or stir their post-food coffees. A set of six dipping bowls perf for individual portions of dipping sauces or condiments on a charcuterie display. Heck, even some Costco yellow mustard feels chicer when served up in one of these! Plus, the mismatched patterns helps people remember whose is whose and gives off the "I picked these up at a cute little boutique" vibe. A wine aerator pourer you can pop directly onto a bottle of wine instead of clearing some room on your bar cart or in your kitchen cabinet for a full-on decanter. With this, you can even present the wine bottle to your friend like they ordered it off a handwritten, seasonal wine menu instead of you being drawn to the cool label in the store. And a set of pastel sheer rainbow wineglasses will give off the eclectic vibe you want, rather than the one your current collection is giving — a mishmash of glasses you nicked from bars and took home from winery tastings. Plus, a bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that'll address the stuff that tends to give you hangovers. Time to bust out that red that's been hiding on the back of your bar cart for who knows how long. A simple tablecloth you can throw over a card table or your coffee table even (floor party!) to give you more space to entertain without worrying about you friend who's notorious for forgetting coasters exist. And a 10-pack of cloth napkins to opt for over a paper towel (though that's ALSO effective) to help really ~elevate~ your air-fried tots and frozen pizza dinner. A (not cheap) neighborhood joint I frequent has similar cloth napkins and they're always so charming, even though I know that's what I'm getting when I order food every single time! A charming vintage-style speaker so you can create your own ~listening bar~ like that place you went to for birthday drinks. But because it's YOUR place you can put on whatever album you want. May I suggest moisturizer by Wet Leg?! A chic candle warmer to help make your scent of the moment last for wayyyyyy longer. At least at home, you can easily use the bathroom overhead light, unlike at a trendy place where the washroom is apparently lit ONLY by candlelight?! We've all been to some of those places, right? Plus, a luxury-scented candle *without* a luxury price. If your friend who's over for the night asks if you're burning a Le Labo Santal 33, just tell 'em yes and move on. This jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend def has those vibes. (Though this'll run you as much as $50+ less.) Waterproof globe string lights will really set the mood for your patio instead of having to wait at least 30 minutes for a table at that romantic Italian joint with the lasagna that makes your mouth water just thinking about it. Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions you can use to really build up your mixology skills (it's even bartender-approved!) with recipes for all kinds of popular cocktails *and* tips on how to make some stuff your own with ingredients you have on hand *without* ruining a drink. It teaches you how to make six "root" cocktails and then builds from there. A Thermacell mosquito repellent that'll also serve as a light source so you can squeeze in more hours on the patio without getting eaten alive by bugs. It works for a 20-foot zone, which is perfect for filling in your friends on the neighborhood gossip without the main characters of said gossip hearing your chat. Plus, a tabletop fly fan that'll do the swatting at bugs for ya. Its steady breeze serves as a deterrent while you're just trying to enjoy the great outdoors. A set of space-saving slim profile olive oil dispensers will look so aesthetic on your kitchen counter without hogging tons of room but you can bust 'em out for entertaining, too! And it'll remind you to use that fancy schmancy olive oil that your friend oh-so-kindly gave you for housewarming and you've been "saving for something special." Each day is special! Use the dang fancy stuff! A set of zombie ice pop molds because it's ice-pop season but ALSO Summerween. Bust out a few of these freezer walkers and queue up the horror comedy classic Tucker & Dale vs. Evil for a little dinner and a show. Listen, you can still have a fancy night at home and enjoy some quality horror! An adorable three-piece nesting bakeware set to help you whip up and serve all kinds of gorgeous eats. Anything will look extra aesthetic served straight from one of these beauts! Pss, this set is like a first cousin of the similar $200 four-piece Our Place set — at less than a quarter of the price. Plus, it's dishwasher-, microwave-, and oven safe up to 450 degrees F. Or a trio lasagna pan so everyone in the friend group can get some to their liking! A Stanley Tucci cookbook in case watching his excellent show Tucci in Italy has spurred the friend group chat to actually book an Italy trip BUT you're determined to divert some of your going-out-to-eat budget to the trip planning. This will be some excellent, delicious motivation! And a set of shallow pasta bowls for your Big NIght at home. (Yes, you could even queue up that Tucci movie for your at-home hang!) You don't have to put pasta in these, but it'll look mighty fine in them! Plus, they'll be great for everyday use so you aren't investing in something that's just for entertaining! A fondue set with color-coded forks you can use for cheese *or* chocolate. If you've never had a fondue night with friends, you're truly missing out on things. It's also a great way to get through some food that's about to go bad, like broccoli, apples, and more! Some pistachio cream you can use to whip up something Dubai chocolate–adjacent (like this reviewer's cake), gelato, tiramisu, or just as a charcuterie spread! A set of silicone teacup cupcake liners to help you craft a delish dessert ahead of time in the most adorable fashion. Then you can reuse them over and over again after you awe your pals and they ask for a repeat night in! A set of flower petal dessert glasses where you can plop a couple of scoops of whatever seasonal flavor of ice cream catches your eye in the freezer aisle. Throw on some sprinkles if you're feeling real fancy. And a pack of instant cold-stirred foam caramel iced lattes in case your crew is an iced coffee year-round group and you'd love to offer up a special coffee post-dinner! These are FAR cheaper than anything you can get at an actual coffee shop (or a too-busy eatery that just got written up by the local paper).
