A little bit of organization, a touch of cozy—you had some good variety on your shopping list in January. It makes sense; with a new year comes new goals, and sometimes those tasks require a good label maker or a few more bookends (two things you were definitely buying last month). And when the temperatures dip, staying comfy with a new quilt or rug underfoot is a real treat. Ahead, take a peek into the shopping carts of readers to get some inspiration for your own upgrades.

This quilt is most definitely a budget-friendly sibling to the loads of $600+ bedding we’ve fallen in love with over the years. Here’s to hoping they launch a few more color options.

This sweet plate was, hands down, a favorite among shoppers when it came to the late Diane Keaton’s second collection with Hudson Grace. The dots are hand-painted, meaning each one is unique.

There’s a difference between a tidy space and one that’s meticulously organized with labels. This little tool has a huge fan base, and it comes in under $20.

Similar to the IKEA bedspread, this $300 cabinet is nearly a dead ringer for others we’ve seen at $2,000+. In fact, we like it more than some of its expensive counterparts (the way those handles blend right in!).

There were a lot of gems hiding in Anthropologie’s sale section last month, but this sneaky side table came out on top. The green stained wood style is popping up all over the house, and we love how easy it is to tuck this take into the sliver of space between your couch and the wall.

A great-looking washable rug can be hard to come by, but we’ve tested 10 and this design from Padma Lakshmi’s exclusive Rugs USA collection stole some major hearts.

A Bluetooth speaker is not only a great upgrade for your own home, but it’s a solid housewarming gift. We love how these pieces from IKEA are design objects themselves.

Two words: secret storage. This clever design does triple duty as an ottoman, table, and hiding spot. The cushion pops open to make space for blankets, al fresco dinnerware, and anything else you may want to tuck away when not in use.

Elfa Clip Bookends

There isn’t always space for both an abundant book collection and sculptural bookends, so when you choose the former, you need some organization that’s going to blend in without much of a footprint. These clip-style bookends were made for a shelving design of the same name, but they could be used anywhere.

This wallpaper almost looks hand-drawn, resulting in a whimsical little pattern made for a playroom (this 77-square-foot hallway transformation by Chris Loves Julia is proof). It would be a great addition for any small space that needs a fresh dressing.
