Amazon is about to gift us the most festive season ever.
We have good news for anyone eager to start their holiday decorating early: Amazon's annual Big Deal Days just started (it lasts until tomorrow night), and tons of decor for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and any other winter holiday imaginable is on sale. After all, anyone who loves celebrating the holidays knows that decorating is one of the best parts. The only fact that can be hard to justify is spending a ton of money on realistic garlands, ornaments, menorahs, and anything festive since you use them for only a month—maybe even less. However, the alternative (i.e., buying decorations you hate just because they’re cheap) isn’t very appealing either.
That’s where Prime Day (which is technically called Prime Big Deal Days) comes in: You can get the luxurious decorations you love without spending more than you’d like. If, on the other hand, you aren’t quite sure which decorations reign supreme or you don’t know how to decorate without going overboard, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, we asked this year's class of Next Wave interior designers and Content Creators to share their holiday-themed October Prime Day carts.
From gorgeous gold-toned ornaments to a real-touch garland that easily wraps around any banister or mantle, these picks will transform your home into a designer-curated winter wonderland. The best part? All of these luxe products are hugely discounted, so they’re basically guilt-free purchases—even the pricier ones, like a KitchenAid mixer that whips up the best sugar cookies. No matter how much you are gunning to decorate your space for the winter holidays, you're bound to find everything you're looking for here—and on sale.
"I love these funky little mushroom vases for a festive holiday tablescape."
—Meg Lonergan Interiors, founder and principal of Meg Lonergan Interiors
"The beauty (and wonderful scent!) that real greenery brings to a home at the holidays can't be denied, but filling a house with it just isn't practical for most people. Luckily, there are gorgeous faux options out there that don't have to be sprayed with water daily or drop needles all over your house. This garland style from Sullivan's is a favorite of ours. It has a soft blend of greens and pinecones, and it drapes beautifully over mantels and doorways. I've used this garland in my own home and in several clients' homes, and it is incredibly real-looking."
—Alicia Held-Morris, co-owner of Morris Lare Interior Design
"I'm loving this Afloral Real Touch Norfolk Pine Garland! Afloral's products always impress me with their high quality, and this garland is no exception. Its length makes it perfect for draping over staircases or adding a festive touch to entryways. On my fireplace mantle, I folded it in half for extra fullness, and with some fairy lights woven in, it instantly brought holiday magic into my home."
—Drew Michael Scott, founder of Lone Fox
"The holidays are about dining together and therefore all about tablescapes! We love incorporating LED cordless table lamps into our favorite table decor. Whether it is a fall theme or your favorite holiday garland, we can't resist the warmth and intimacy these cordless lamps add."
—Brad Ramsey, founder of Brad Ramsey Interiors
"During the holidays, we tend to pop a cork in celebration of life, love, and togetherness more than any other time of year. Having a nice collection of champagne flutes for those occasions certainly elevates the moment! And we love the sophisticated geometric goblet shape on these Zwiesel glasses! Cheers!"
—Brad Ramsey, founder of Brad Ramsey Interiors
"I always try to stock up for my holiday gifting needs on Prime Day! In particular, I love to use velvet ribbons for wrapping presents (or adding festive touches around the house—think of a cute bow on a candlestick!). Also, marbled paper always makes for a chic wrapping paper!"
—Taylor Mattos, designer at Rinfret, Ltd.
"Fragrance is an incredibly powerful tool in interior design, especially when it comes to setting the ambiance during the holiday season. I believe that scents evoke deep emotions and cherished memories, creating a warm and immersive environment. The right fragrance can enhance comfort, elevate mood, and define the character of a home, making it feel even more inviting and festive during this special time of year."
—Bilal Rehman, founder and principal of Bilal Rehman Studio
"I love these lavender linen napkins as a fun twist for a holiday tablescape color scheme. For Thanksgiving, the lilac color pairs great with rusts, mustards, caramels, and browns. In December, you can mix the lilac with navy blue, gold, emerald, and pops of red."
—Meg Lonergan Interiors, founder and principal of Meg Lonergan Interiors
"I love a great fragrance in the home. Choosing a decorative candle in holiday colors is a nice way to show your holiday spirit without a literal reference to the holiday season."
—Jerel Lake, designer at Design Galleria Kitchen and Bath Studio
"I’m really into these Bronze Copper Brown Gold vintage-inspired ornaments! The set of 16 is perfect for setting the tone on my Christmas tree, giving it a warm, elegant vibe. Lately, I've been loving brown color schemes—they bring a festive touch without being too over-the-top for the holidays."
—Drew Michael Scott, founder of Lone Fox
"Prime Day is perfect for investing in some splurge-worthy pieces- gear up for all your holiday baking/cooking and get a KitchenAid- bonus points for festive color. Great to gift or keep for yourself and just give them the cookies instead."
—Taylor Mattos, designer at Rinfret, Ltd.
