My Top 2023 Amazon Home Picks

My Top 2023 Amazon Home Picks

I know Amazon Prime Day 2023 is now behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still score some great deals from the online retailer. Whether you love Amazon or hate it, there’s no way to deny the affordability of a lot of the pieces in their endless collection. The brand has been a supporter of my women-owned small business for years, so I have no problem shopping responsibly on the website. You do what feels right for you, but these items linked below are some of the things I’ve purchased from Amazon and truly loved over the past seven months.

My Top 2023 Amazon Home Picks:

1. 4-Slot Mint Green Toaster: We just recently got this toaster for our kitchen so John and I don’t have to fight over the two slots in our old one anymore, and it has been a game-changer. I don’t know why we waited so long! I love the minty green color, too.

2. Gold Drawer Pulls: These are the knobs I’ve been purchasing for every room in our house since moving in last November—for both bathrooms and the kitchen. They’re really heavy duty/solid, and work so well. Zero complaints.

3. Floating Shelves: These are real floating shelves, guys—not the wimpy particle board versions that can barely hold a feather. They’re solid wood, and oh-so-beautiful.

4. Vanity Globe Light Fixture: We have this fixture in both of our bathrooms—the 3-light version for our main bathroom, and a 4-bulb fixture in our slightly larger hall bath. They’re so sleek and make great focal points in our bathrooms.

5. Magic Eraser Knock-Offs: These Magic Cleaning Sponges are so much cheaper than the name brand version, but work just as well. I never buy the full price ones anymore.

6. Washed Cotten Linen Duvet Cover Set: I ordered this for our guest bedroom and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality! I have a feeling it will only get better with age and repeated washes. The zipper closure is also a nice touch.

7. Peel-And-Stick Tiles: I used these tiles in a different design at our old house, and they were fantastic to work with. Much easier than retiling areas with real ceramic tiles! I bought this pattern to cover old beige tiles in our kitchen and sunroom.

8. Squishy House Shoes: These are deliciously comfortable for use around the house. I treat them more like slippers, but I’ve been known to wander out of the house in them by accident to go to the grocery store, and no one seems to mind or judge.

9. Touch-Activated Kitchen Faucet: Worth. Every. Single. Penny. I was just raving to a contractor about this faucet yesterday, and he says he’s going to tell his kid about it! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

10. Memory Foam Mattress Topper: This is another guest room addition to our bedding collection, and is one I now can’t live without. It makes our firm mattress extra squishy and cozy.

11. Felt Rug Pad: I can’t even count how many times I’ve rebought this exact rug pad for our home. They make any rug so much more comfortable to walk across, and helps prevent rug slip-age, too.

12. Automatic Nightlight: We ordered this for our hall bathroom to help with late night trips to the bathroom, and it’s awesome. So much better than having to flip on the bright overhead light.

I hope that helps inspire some of your home shopping this season! One of my favorite ways to save even more money while browsing Amazon is to keep an eye on their open box deals. These often come with the exact same guarantee as the new (read: pricy) version of the product, and I hardly ever notice a difference when I unbox it. Everything generally still looks and functions like brand new, but I get to keep some money in my pocket. Tell us about your favorite Amazon finds in the comments below.

Loloi Rugs Summer Prime Day 2023

Reviewing My Favorite Area Rugs | dreamgreendiy.com + @loloirugs #LoloiPrimeDay2023 (ad/gifted)

*Today’s post was made possible by Loloi, and features gifted product for the purposes of a candid review. All opinions are my own.

Now, to be honest, I’m not one to usually get overly hyped about sales days (the mayhem of Black Friday completely confounds me), so trust me when I say that I’m not encouraging irresponsible consumerism here with today’s blog post. This is intended more as a review-style theme based around the Loloi rugs that I heard will be available for a discount during this year’s Amazon Prime Day sale. These rugs have all been physically laid out in our home over the years, so I can give you my real life opinion, that way you can decide whether the sale fits your needs and is worth it or not. I can say with confidence that each and every one of the five rugs I’m about to tell you about are worth the price—even if the sale is over by the time you’re reading this! Let’s dive into the details.

Polly – POL-03 CJ Antique / Mist

The first rug I’m going to tell you about is the newest addition to our collection. I ordered it with the intention of layering it into the nook just off our kitchen, and it was the perfect fit! This design is called the Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Polly – POL-03 CJ Antique / Mist, and we got it in the 5’x7’6” size to fit this slightly awkward pass-through seating area. I wanted something with a light-colored background in it to help brighten this naturally dark space, and it worked like a charm. This rug is extra thick underfoot, and the hand-tufted wool and jute construction makes it really durable, too, which is key since it’s situated right by the garage entry door, kitchen, living room, and sunroom. In other words, we walk across this rug a lot, and it has held up great so far.

Margot – MAT-03 Area Rug

If you haven’t tried a Loloi rug featuring CloudPile yet, you’re missing out. These ultra soft area rugs feel almost like a chenille blanket on top, but have a very thick durable backing that helps them stand up to everyday wear and tear. We had the Margot – MAT-03 Area Rug in our main bedroom at the old house, and John and I were immediately hooked on that soft CloudPile texture. I really love the vintage-inspired multi-color pattern on this rug, too. I should mention that the CloudPile feels really delicate and luxurious, but it’s actually very easy to clean. It stood up to everything we (and, more importantly, our pets) tossed at it on a daily basis.

Loloi II Loren LQ-15 Terracotta/Sky

I think one of the most-asked-about rugs on my blog and Instagram is the Loloi II Loren Collection LQ-15 Terracotta/Sky. The bold color palette is so eye-catching thanks to the combination of red, pink, blue, charcoal, and cream. There’s even a hint of light green running through the pattern that helps make this rug feel extra youthful and energizing. The flat printed texture of the area rug also makes it a breeze to clean, and doesn’t shed at all.

Morgan – MOG-04 Area Rug

There’s so much to love about the Amber Lewis x Loloi collection—especially this particular Morgan – MOG-04 Area Rug. It, too, features that CloudPile texture we love so much, and the variation in the pattern on top looks so authentically vintage, but without the high price tag and delicate construction. The earthy color palette makes it a good fit for nearly any room since the colors don’t distract from other décor elements in your home. It’s a very understated focal point, which some rooms need rather than something so in-your-face that you can’t look away. The Morgan is very sophisticated, in my opinion, and is definitely one of my all-time top picks.

Eden Collection EDE-03 Lattice Indigo

Lastly, I wanted to mention the Rifle Paper Co. x Loloi Eden Collection EDE-03 Lattice Indigo Area Rug. I styled this for a blog photoshoot in our main bedroom at the old house, but ultimately gifted it to my parents for their living room. That space in their house is used constantly by Mom, Dad, their pair of cats, and two massive black labs. Somehow the rug has stood up well to those sixteen paws, with only a few snags to be seen since laying the rug down a year ago. Happily, those initial snags are all easily clipped away, and it’s good as new. Again, the CloudPile texture makes it a family favorite. My sister and I have been known to lay across it to watch movies during the holidays, and it’s just as cozy as any floor blanket would be. Oh, and isn’t that floral pattern just a dream?! We love it.

So there you have it—five of my favorite Loloi rugs from over the years. I wish that I could tell you exactly how much the rugs will end up being during this year’s Amazon Prime Day sale, but the algorithm apparently changes in real time depending on stock, demand, and other complicated digital parameters. I’ve got my fingers crossed that the deals are all still rolling when you’re reading this.

Let me know in the comments if you spot any other Loloi rugs in the sale that I didn’t mention here. I tried to call out only the ones we’ve actually had ourselves, but there are going to be dozens of other options included in the sale, too. I can help you make a good decision based on the rugs we’ve had plus reviews I’ve read from my fellow Loloi lovers in the home design influencer realm. Just ask below or shoot me a message here!
