Kate and Laurel Lipton Decorative Serving Tray

“Serving Trays are a great way to organize tchotchkes on a coffee table, under it, on top of an ottoman, or on a bookcase,” suggests Valerie Helgeson, lead designer at Design Directions. “We use a serving tray in virtually every family and living room styling job we do. I love the gold handles on this one, and the price during Prime Days is great.”

ZooeyRoose Three-Piece Artificial Hydrangea Set

Helgeson also tells us that this is the perfect time to buy faux flowers that “feel and look like the real thing.” You’ll have gorgeous fresh flowers every day, minus all the maintenance. “These have a nice-sized 8.5-inch bloom that fills a vase beautifully. There are several color options to choose from, but we ordered the white ones for a recent project. Pro Tip: The blooms can be a little flat when you unpackage them but using a hot blow dryer on the petals spreads them out beautifully.”

Generic 2′ by 3′ Scallop Edge Jute Area Rug

“Has there ever been a cuter rug than this scalloped edge one? I don’t think so!” shares Helgeson. “The hardworking jute paired with the scalloped detail makes it a perfect combo for a busy family.” The designer also said, “If you’re into the coastal cottage style or the ‘fancy grandma’ look, this might be just what you’ve been searching for.”

Jengush Battery-Operated Two-Pack Wall Sconces

Now’s the time to buy light fixtures, too, according to Helgeson. “If you’ve always wanted sconce lights on a wall in your home but didn’t want to spend hundreds on an electrician, these wireless rechargeable sconces might be the answer to your prayers. This pair has a pretty antique brass finish with a linen-look shade. Plus, these are dimmable, and you can operate them with a remote control!”

Brooklyn Loom Flax Linen King-Size Three-Piece Duvet Set

Expert Mackenzie Collier urges us to scoop up Brooklyn Loom’s plush and cozy flax linen set. “I’ve purchased this set twice now, and I absolutely love it,” she admits. “Unlike most linen sets, it arrives soft enough to use right out of the package and continues to get even softer with each wash. Living in Arizona, where temperatures often soar above 100 degrees, I appreciate how well it breathes during the summer and how cozy it keeps me in the winter. The texture of the linen is wonderful, and the color options, especially the olive green and natural hues, are simply beautiful. Plus, the fabric is durable, standing up to frequent washes and my golden retriever’s snuggles.”

Mother of Pearl Drum End Table

“Another fantastic home decor item I recommend for Prime Day is the Mother of Pearl Square Drum End Table,” Collier continues. “I love using little side tables all over my home because they are easy to pick up and move wherever you need them. They make a great spot to set your coffee or remote and add visual interest to any space. This particular table, handcrafted by skilled Vietnamese artisans, features a stunning mosaic design with premium capiz shell inlay, adding an artistic accent that I adore. The combination of natural wood and a shimmering finish complements various decor styles, including coastal, bohemian, and modern. I’m excited to order this table for my new home, as it will add the little touch of contrast I need in front of my army green sofa.”

Bloomingville Decorative Marble Chain Link Figurine

If you’ve been waiting for prices to drop to snap up some pretty accent pieces for your living spaces, interior designer Chantelle Hartman Malarkey agrees that Prime Day is the optimal time. “I love this marble chain-link decorative piece. It looks super cool as a standalone or on top of a trio of books. It definitely feels modern and classic at the same time, so it’s great for a range of tastes and styles.”

Korniful Tabletop Fire Pit

Expert Pamela Williams says we should be open to bringing the outdoors inside this time of year. “A decorative indoor fire pit is a versatile and unique addition to any home. It offers natural flame accent lighting, creating an intimate ambiance. You could place it on a console table in the foyer for a bold, moody entrance, or center it on the living room coffee table, sofa or media console to add warmth and create a welcoming vibe. It could even elevate your dinner experience by placing it on your dining table as a contemporary alternative to candles.”

Livabliss Janine Vintage Medallion 7’10” by 10’3″ Area Rug

Jodi Peterman, CEO of Elizabeth Erin Designs, concludes that massive deals on area rugs should be on your radar because they’re such versatile decor pieces. “Decorating your home with an area rug is a great way to add in personality, texture, color, and coziness to any space,” she explains. “Amazon has so many amazing deals on rugs right now that allow you to add a stylized element to your room without breaking the bank. This particular rug has a nice pile, is kid and pet-friendly, and has a fun patterned element that will be a great base for any room design.”

Lyerse 6-Foot Artificial Olive Tree

“Everyone loves the look of plants and greenery in the home, but not the maintenance,” Peterman confesses. “Luckily, Amazon has some great deals on faux trees this Prime Day. I particularly love this one for its realistic design and scale. It has great coloring on the leaves and believable olives spread throughout the branches. I love adding a tree like this to any bare room corner that needs some extra love.”

DII Herringbone Collection Throw Blanket

Interior designer Amy Peltier believes a low-lift option to making your living space feel fresh is a stylish throw blanket. “I love looking for bold patterns and luxurious textures that can instantly elevate the space. Whether you prefer a modern or a more traditional look, these accessories are an easy and affordable way to add a touch of personality and comfort to your home.”

Joivi Set of Two Outdoor Patio Dining Chairs

“When it comes to outdoor furniture, I always say that your outdoor space should be an extension of your indoor living areas,” Peltier notes. “For Amazon Prime Day, I recommend looking for pieces that not only withstand the elements but also add a touch of elegance and comfort to your patio, garden, or balcony, like these gorgeous chairs.” The braided rattan design looks equally stylish and inviting.
