The amount of home products we see in a calendar year as Domino editors is dizzying. Sometimes, it feels like it numbers in the hundreds in just a week: furniture, kitchen gear, soft goods, lighting… basically, any category related to how we live. But that doesn’t meant we don’t have favorites, things we were so fond of that we had to have them for ourselves. Ahead, see the 13 products we couldn’t live without in 2025.
Swissmar Stelvio Raclette Party Grill
I was introduced to this nifty appliance nearly a decade ago, when a French friend invited my husband and I over for a raclette party. What’s not to love about pouring bubbling alpine cheese over boiled potatoes, roasted onions, and cornichons? I was enamored, but never got around to acquiring one for myself—until last month. A thick slice of cheese gets nestled into each of the eight trays, placed under a flame, and then scraped onto your meat or vegetable of choice. The granite top is a warm perch for serving dishes and looks a little more elevated than its cast iron competitors. —Samantha Weiss-Hills, managing editor
Hook & Loom Cotton Flatweave Rug
Every rug I tried in our second bedroom looked so awkward and for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why. Then, while chatting with designer Lia McNairy, one part of the duo behind the firm LALA Reimagined, I learned it’s because I should really be using a square rug in the 10-foot-by-10-foot space. Custom square rugs are notoriously expensive (yes, even the ones from big-box retailers), but McNairy introduced me to Hook & Loom. While not fully customizable, its cotton flatweave rugs are more affordable and come in a ton of sizes, including square dimensions. Mine shipped in a week, looks great, and is soft underfoot. —Lydia Geisel, home editor
Tala Muse Portable Lamp
A recent assignment involved me testing a dozen portable lights and I loved this one by Tala so much that I bought it! A contemporary take on a traditional lantern, it’s good-looking, high quality, and dims from a cool task light to a soft, ambient glow. Also, every part, including the concealed battery pack, can be replaced. It’s one of those forever buys. —Olivia Lidbury, contributing writer
Zima Dental Pod
This is probably the least sexy product I’ve ever recommended, but I refuse to be embarrassed because everyone deserves to know about it. If you, like me, are required to wear a mouthguard at night so you don’t slowly grind your teeth into dust, you are well aware of how annoying one is to clean. After years of hacking it with a toothbrush, Instagram kindly served me an ad for this inconspicuous little pod. Rather than soap or toothpaste, the award-winning device uses ultrasonic waves to remove bacteria, plaque, and debris. Fill the Dental Pod up with water, drop your mouthguard inside, and turn it on. Five minutes later—I usually do my skincare routine—and your device is clean as can be. —Lindsey Mather, editor in chief
Fable Wine Glasses
The everyday wine glass is a niche category in the tableware world. It’s a difficult piece to get right—in an ideal scenario, it needs to be affordable, have a thin rim, and be versatile enough for different varieties. The reality is that they often end up being clunky and unpleasant to drink from. In an effort to streamline our collection but not break the bank, I decided to try a new set from Fable, which promised an extremely thin rim and elegant stem, plus durability. I have found all three to be true. —Samantha Weiss-Hills, managing editor
Canopy’s Baby Bath Tub Filter
This was the year I leveled up our household’s toddler products, from Pom’s chic babyproofing essentials to this tub filter. Since moving from New York to a lakeside bungalow in the Hudson Valley, I’ve been tackling our well water issues slowly but surely. We clocked a noticeable difference from the very first use of this filter: a cleaner scent, softer water, and even sudsier bubbles. My daughter has been asking to take more baths, which we are happy to indulge now that our water is no longer so tough on her eczema-prone skin. —Andie Diemer, photography director
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask
Summer Fridays’s Jet Lag Mask has a cult following (Jessica Alba among them), but it was a free sample I got at Sephora earlier this year that converted me into a full-size buyer. Ten minutes after application, my skin feels happily hydrated and is visibly glowier. On mornings when I’m at my most zombie-like, I’ll use it as an eye cream to look more awake. —Lindsey DeSimone, senior marketing manager
Framebridge Madrid Frame
This was the year I became fully obsessed with framing things. Family photos now hang in a clustered hallway gallery; a photo of mine—printed larger than anything I’ve ever attempted—finally took its rightful place in my bedroom; a Laguna~B poster from Salone del Mobile is up; and a grouping of food drawings in every medium sits perfectly in my kitchen. After months of painter’s taping and rearranging, I realized the secret was Framebridge’s tight, thoughtful frame curation. You never hit that too-much-choice fatigue, and checking out is blissfully painless. As a confirmed color-drencher, I love their bold, saturated options and monochromatic mats. —Meghan McNeer, contributing editor
Coop Adjustment Comforter
More than 15 years after meeting my husband, we found the key to a perfect sleeping arrangement (he’s always running hot and I’m the opposite): Coop’s comforter. Rather than us each sleeping with our own blanket, this one’s warmth can be adjusted on either side using the two extra panels and a simple button system. Baffle-box construction, a hypoallergenic down alternative filling, and eco-friendly cotton all but guarantee a balance of coziness (perfect for me) and breathability (excellent for him). I highly recommend pairing it with The Citizenry’s new sateen sheets for a superb snooze. —Diemer
Be Just 100% Beeswax Taper Candles
These taper candles come in an array of rich colors and funky shapes, which made choosing which ones to take home a near-impossible decision. No two, even in the same hue and style, are identical since they’re hand-poured, but all have a patina that lends a sense of warmth and timelessness. I have the column style in burnt amber out on my living room mantel right now, and I just love looking at them. —DeSimone
Hand-Painted Bowl by Pomelo Casa
This bowl is what I’ve started calling my “pre-heirloom.” It’s a serving bowl, but the kind you pull out constantly, not just for company. It’s the perfect size for a giant salad, a mountain of pasta, or whatever I’m hauling to the table when entertaining. The weight is incredible: substantial without being cumbersome. And despite the pattern, it somehow plays well with all my other tabletop items. I can already picture this bowl decades from now, still anchoring every dinner party, still perfect, because some things are just meant to last forever. —McNeer
Gotopceed Rechargeable Motion Sensor Ceiling Light
I used to rifle through our home’s four dark closets blindly, but these little lights changed everything. When I open a door, the motion-activated light turns on automatically, then shuts off when you move along. It affixes to a wall or shelf using magnets, and only has to be charged once every few months via USB because the light is on so infrequently. I’m generally against portable lamps because they’re a constant fuss, never charged when you need them. But these lights actually make sense. There are multiple settings: brightness, coolness of the light, and a timer. (I like mine at full brightness, so you can actually find a shirt, and the warmest setting, so the light is cozy and soft.) It felt like we gained storage space when we started using them. —Amanda Sims Clifford, contributing editor
CICIL Curvy Runner
I’d been searching for the perfect runner for our kitchen, a high traffic area that’s prone to occasional food spills. I ultimately chose the Curvy Runner from CICIL in Moss and I couldn’t be happier with it. The brand makes 100-percent natural, biodegradable rugs that you can customize, and this durable one has been incredibly easy to spot clean. Plus, the unique curves and rich color add such a fun touch of personality to our space. —Merisa Libbey, contributing stylist
