As shopping editors, we love a good sale, and few are more impressive or prolific than Prime Day. If you're thinking, "Wasn't Prime Day mere months ago?" you're not wrong; it was. However, the masterminds at Amazon have heard our prayers for another Prime Day and delivered. Yes, there is another Prime Day (though not a four-day one) in October. Dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, the sale is a 48-hour extravaganza featuring thousands of discounts, which can be overwhelming.
To help, we are asking our go-to interior designers what they're buying this time around. From kitchen essentials to charming decor, their responses will definitely help you spruce up your space for fall—without having to spend a whole lot. Luckily, plenty of these pieces, including a portable fire pit, a patterned quilt, and a set of solar-powered twinkly lights, are perfect for the cozy season ahead. So, if you're not quite sure what to get this Prime Day, but you know you want to take advantage of the incredible deals, check out these carefully curated designer picks.
"I recently used these durable area rugs in a coastal property for a client. They're bright and fresh, and they bring a pop of color while standing up beautifully to the daily wear of any beachside location."
—Lauren Hurlbrink, founder of Lauren Hurlbrink Interiors
"This set of chairs is much fun and midcentury modern style rolled into one (or two, in this case) dining chair. This timeless, midcentury modern gem is perfect for kitchens, dining tables, and even home offices."
—Cathy Hobbs, founder of Cathy Hobbs Design Recipes
"A great Prime Day deal is this very thin, washable rubber-back rug. They are fabulous inside a kitchen, foyer, mudroom, and playroom. And the runners are great in the kitchen. They are easy to care for, and the nonslip backing keeps them in place, making them sturdy and safe for high-traffic areas. Plus, they are soft."
—Andrea Sinkin, principal designer at Andrea Sinkin Design
"I use coffee table books everywhere in my own home, and in clients' homes. From styling a coffee table, adding color, texture, and height to bookshelves, or adding height to a bedside table, there's a million spots to use coffee table books in your home's decor. You can curate a collection of books that are in the same color family, or by topic, location, etc. The possibilities are endless. And you can never go wrong with a coffee table book as a hostess gift—just choose a topic that you know is of interest to the host or hostess, add a bow, and voila!"
—Courtnay Tartt Elias, principal and creative director at Creative Tonic Design
"As an interior designer and kitchen design expert, Boos blocks are the gold standard for all chefs. I've used them in both professional and home kitchens. The trusty cutting boards are rarely on sale, so Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to get one before the holiday entertaining season arrives. With more clients going plastic-free, Prime Day is a great time to try a wood cutting board."
—Molly O'Neil, principal and founder of Molly O Interiors
"Cooler weather means it's time to add layers to your bedding. Quilts are the perfect transitional piece and ideal for making a bed the cozy spot you want for relaxing in the fall. I love to stock up on bedding essentials during Prime Day, and this classic quilt with a feminine floral print is just the thing I need this fall. The soft, muted tones are perfect for cozy nights."
—Molly O'Neil, principal and founder of Molly O Interiors
"I'm obsessed with these cute, ribbed, vintage art deco couple glasses! Who wouldn't want to entertain with these pastel stem beauties? I love them with a layered tablescape or just on their own for an elegant but colorful touch during the holidays—or just for everyday use."
—Natalie Papier, founder of Home Ec.
"As the days get shorter, extra light becomes essential. This elegant, vintage-inspired glass lamp is the perfect solution, adding a warm touch of coziness to any space. With its cordless design, it’s not only stylish but also easily portable, allowing you to bring light wherever it’s needed."
—Aino Heinäsuo, head of design at Redecor
"We're buying a s'more kit for fall! Well, I guess it's a fire pit, but we'll be using it for s'mores! Our new studio has an outside courtyard, and we're planning to host some gatherings this fall. I'm a big fan of s'mores, and fall is their season, so this portable fire pit will enable all that!"
—Michelle Gage, founder and creative director of Michelle Gage Interiors
"As an architect focused on sustainable design, I have to recommend these rechargeable solar string lights. They're currently 15 percent off on Amazon and a great eco-friendly way to light up your space. Using solar energy means fewer resources and less pollution. Plus, the warm glow of string lights creates an inviting ambiance for any home."
—Pam Hutter, principal of Hutter Architects
"When looking for decor, organic and natural materials are always my first choice. This handmade bamboo tray would make a perfect addition to any home decor style. Bamboo is a sustainable, durable material that adds a subtle texture. I love finding unique decor pieces from local artisans, and this tray was handcrafted using traditional Japanese wood-joining techniques. Supporting small businesses and choosing sustainable, ethical products are important to me."
—Pam Hutter, principal of Hutter Architects
"This vintage-inspired vessel is a versatile decor piece that fits seamlessly into any space or design aesthetic. They work beautifully as layering elements on bookshelves or as stylish accents on dining or coffee tables, especially when paired with greenery or florals to introduce visual height and interest to your space."
—Audrey Scheck, founder and principal of Audrey Scheck Design
"This beautiful book offers great design inspiration, a perfect find to update my living room decor."
—Stephanie Mahaney, principal of Stephanie Rae Interiors
"We start every party with a very large cheese board—like bigger than what one might deem reasonable! Even if we're serving only three people, I still like to go oversize, and this simple but gorgeous Acacia is handmade and reasonably priced."
—Lisa Walker Brown, cofounder of Everick Brown Design
"Mini lamps are trending, and they are here to stay! This petite lamp features a beautiful, pleated shade and provides just the right amount of light to create a cozy atmosphere. It's an adorable touch for dark kitchen corners, nightstands, or built-in bookshelves."
—Audrey Scheck, founder and principal of Audrey Scheck Design
"A simple way to give your kitchen a more professional look while enhancing your cooking experience is by upgrading to a cohesive set of pots and pans. This copper collection not only adds a touch of luxury but also effortlessly complements various kitchen styles, from rustic to modern. With its timeless aesthetic, it is both a practical investment and a beautiful statement piece that endures over time. Beyond functionality, its stunning design allows you to take it from stovetop to table, making it ideal for serving guests with style and elegance."
