May: the month when everyone who doesn’t live in a temperate climate remembers that they need to replace their patio furniture, or pick up a new set of string lights for the deck, or outfit their plants with new digs. Domino readers were on the case, scooping up beach bags, outdoor umbrellas, and decor for their performance fabric–clad sectionals. Thankfully, there were hundreds of sales happening and big one-off events at Target, Wayfair, and Ssense. Mother’s Day landed smack in the middle of the month, of course, and if you needed a last-minute gift, our flower delivery services guide served you well. Here’s everything you were buying in May, from chic budget-friendly rugs to solar-powered garden lanterns.
H&M Home Cotton Terry Beach Bag
Cotton Terry Beach Bag, H&M Home
This darling terrycloth beach bag is absorbent, soft, and washer-dryer friendly. It’s one of our favorite things at H&M Home right now and, in May, it was one of yours.
Rugs USA Melrose Checked Area Rug
Melrose Checked Area Rug, 6' x '9', by Arvin Olano, Rugs USA
While we saw all kinds of rugs with a strong border in May, Domino readers were still beelining for a check. This 100% wool Arvin Olano design for Rugs USA is both affordable and timeless, and you took notice.
Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro
Titanium Always Pan Pro, Our Place
When Our Place releases a new kitchen product, we always want to know what special twist they’re bringing to the table. With the Titanium Always Pan Pro, it’s several: a no-coating nonstick cooking surface, titanium construction, and shiny finish. All of this? You loved it, too.
Farmgirl Flowers Bouquet
Just Right Burlap Wrapped Bouquet, Farmgirl Flowers
A bouquet of blooms sent straight to their door is the surprise many people didn’t know they wanted. Farmgirl Flowers is one of our go-tos for such a gift, and you sent your fair share in May.
Birch Lane Iago Tilt Market Umbrella
Birch Lane Iago Tilt Market Umbrella, Wayfair
Wayfair’s annual Way Day sale happened in April, but its deals kept on coming in May. This 108-inch umbrella is under $200 and decorated with sweet scallops—and it comes in 10 different colors. You were partial to the baby blue with a white contrasting edge.
H&M Home Metal Pendant Lamp
Metal Pendant Lamp, H&M Home
If you haven’t poked around the lighting selection at H&M Home, you should hop to it. Other Domino readers did when they saw that we covered this metal pendant lamp with a felted cord and frosted glass globe.
Your Target Top Buys in May
The Studio McGee collection at Target is a perennial Domino editor and reader favorite, packed with laid-back and lovely gems. At this time of year, you’ve been all about the outdoor decor, and we can’t blame you.
