27 Wayfair Items To Make Your Home Look *So* Nice
A smart end table with built-in outlets, wireless speakers, a charging pad, motion-sensor lights, *and* a thermoelectric cooling drawer to keep snacks and drinks cool because some of us still remember watching the Disney Channel original movie Smart House and want to live that fantasy as adults. Promising review: "It provides all the requirements necessary for my husband and I, such as gives us evening lighting within the end table, plays music, the cooling drawer keeps our water bottle room temperature cool, charging station helps charge our phones and iPads as well as can play our favorites songs while resting or sleeping. Plus, it looks pretty neat in our bedroom. We could not ask for anything more!" —MiriamPrice: $799 (originally $999, available in two colors) A gorgeous sideboard with a carved mandala design to make a statement while also providing storage. Plus, the 60-inch surface offers tons of space to display framed photos and knick-knacks. Promising review: "Love, love, love! Beautiful piece that can stay when you change decor! Bold detail! A conversation piece! Delivery was good, no damage." —AmandaPrice: $1,169.99 (originally $1,999) An L-shaped desk that gives you plenty of workspace for your computer, monitor, printer, and more. It can also be positioned in two different configurations to fit many different types of spaces. It has plenty of shelf storage you can install underneath — your guests will want to know about your personalized (*and* very efficient) home office. Promising review: "This is a great desk and makes excellent use of the space it takes up! It fits perfectly in our bedroom corner to create an extra study. There is plenty of workspace for a laptop as well as a writing area. The shelves are perfectly sized, and the holes for the cable are a bonus. It looks pretty well-made too, and a good indication of this is that the parts fit well together without any trouble, especially the shelves. Assembly is pretty straightforward, it took me two hours. But pay close attention to *all* the steps, and especially the curved arrows that show you which direction the holes point." —NinaPrice: $107.99+ (originally $164.99, available in three colors) A velvet loveseat because you deserve somewhere cute to curl up and read a book (or to sit with your dog, who has now claimed this loveseat as theirs). Plus, the luxe fabric will instantly elevate any space with minimal work! Promising review: "Came right on time with all materials needed. The setup was very simple, and I was able to put it together myself.

And you'll be able to display all your fancy pots, pans, mugs, and teacups for your guests to admire. Promising review: "Got this for my little coffee nook. It is extremely durable! Each shelf easily holds a decent amount of weight. It looks stunning and [it's] well-made. Took my boyfriend 30 minutes to build, which is a record for any shelving items we've bought. Overall, would recommend a thousand times over!" —AlexiaPrice: $78.99+ (originally $91.99; available in two finishes) An arched floor lamp to provide overhead lighting without being too harsh.

I put my record player and records on it and it's exactly what I was looking for.

Overall, I'm very happy with this piece." —AmandaPrice: $72.99 (originally $169.99) A velvet seashell barrel chair for adding the perfect pop of color to any space in need of a little extra "oomph." I have this in hot pink and get so many compliments on it.

The fabric is very soft to the touch, it was a breeze to assemble (just put the legs on), and it's quite comfy to sit in and read a book.
