Anyone who's digging the grandeur of grand-centric trends (coastal grandmother or grandmillennial, anyone?) will find a lot to love about Society Social. When Roxy Te Owens founded the company in 2011, she offered six beautiful bar carts. A decade later, Society Social has become a one-stop-shop with a bunch of different categories to peruse: dinnerware, pillows, wallpaper, lamps, and more. But, no matter how big Society Social gets, the company stays dedicated to creating high-quality pieces at a fair, affordable price. (Fun fact: Te Owens grew up in her family's furniture factory, so it's safe to say great design is in her DNA.)

The kitchen may be the heart and stomach of your home, but one that's overflowing with cooking tools is downright stressful. That's where Material comes in.

So, whether you're looking for a squiggly bouclé bench or a simple vase, your space will get transformed with a major "wow" factor.

There’s a lot more to Our Place than its ultra-popular Always Pan. After stints at the Malala Fund and NOW Ventures, co-founder Shiza Shahid wanted to make cookware and dinnerware that people were actually excited to use — and share with their loved ones. Community has always been at the center of Our Place’s ethos, and they regularly team up with local organizations to create system-based changes in their neighborhoods. The fact that its wares are undeniably gorgeous is the cherry on the top.

Thanks to Sabai, it’s possible to buy beautiful (and sustainable!) furniture for a fair, affordable price. When co-founders Caitlin Ellen and Phantila Phataraprasit founded the direct-to-consumer company a few years ago, they knew that curation was key. Not only did the brand launch with a curated inventory — Sabai currently sells a sectional, sofa, loveseat, and ottoman — but they also selected the finest and most eco-friendly materials. All of this minus the sticker shock? Your wallet and Mother Nature will approve.

Outer founders Jiake Liu and Terry Lin created their patio furniture brand to be smart, stylish, and oh-so cozy. Not only does Outer use weather-resistant materials and memory foam cushioning, but each piece has built-in covers to protect your seat from the elements.

Looking for patio furniture that has an interior designer's seal of approval? Meet Stori Modern, which was founded by designer Jean Liu. Equal parts pretty and practical, Liu has dreamt up some gorgeous conversation sets and dining tables made in an assortment of weather-resistant materials. (Think: Sunbrella upholstery, iron, aluminum, and more.) Just imagine enjoying dinner al fresco with this colorful bistro set.

Life's smallest moments can be packed with color and personality; you just need to know where to look — or rather, where to shop. Husband-wife duo Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung founded Poketo in 2003 to bring some art and design into the everyday. (Fun fact: The name Poketo was inspired by Myung's Korean grandmother.) With groovy desk organizers, smile-inducing coasters, and pigment-packed drinkware, it's safe to say they achieved their goal with flying colors.

Think of Shane Monson's Onsen as the ultimate melting pot. The brand uses Supima cotton sourced from the United States to create towels, washcloths, and robes that honor Japan's form-meets-function aesthetic. (Case in point: This towel bundle, which has a minimalist waffle weave that provides maximum water absorption.) As a result, that post-shower routine looks and feels so good.

The average person spends a third of their life in bed, and if you want to make your slumber even better, Elle Liu's Eucalypso has you covered.

They're silky smooth, ultra-breathable , and temperature-regulating — exactly what sweet dreams should be made of.

Need some reinforcements to catch some zzz's? Luna makes weighted blankets to recreate the sensation of a warm hug — not to mention helping you fall and stay asleep in the process. By now, many brands make weighted blankets; however, Luna reimagined the sleep essential in everything from a plush sherpa to cooling fibers. (Translation: There's bound to be a weighted blanket to match your needs.)

Since no bedspread is complete without a good pillow, complete your setup with WAVY's offerings. Simply put, the brand's pillows tick off all the boxes. A mesh layer that's super breathable and machine-washable? Check. Adaptive support that works with your body? Check. In fact, there's even a pillow for side sleepers so you can rest easy.

When you think about ceramics, you probably envision vases and plates. But at SIN Ceramics? Virginia Sin proves that ceramics know no bounds. The Brooklyn-based artist brings her cool touch to everything from mirrors to wall hooks. That said, Sin has certainly mastered the basics — its paper porcelain plates are used at top-of-the-line restaurants like Eleven Madison Park.

Marie Kondo might be known for her joy-sparking tidying tactics, but it turns out she also has a line of storage bins, baskets, and containers, which you can shop on her site or at The Container Store. So whether you want somewhere to stow almond flour and brown sugar or are looking to make the most of your closet, know that yes, it is possible to stay organize in style.

Decorating your home is only half the battle; it's important to keep your space clean, too. The good news is that Blueland isn't just about scrubbing away the dirt in your home, but also scrubbing away the plastic waste. Swap your arsenal of plastic cleaning product bottles with the brand's reusable ones, which are filled with powerful cleaners mixed from tiny, planet-friendly tablets. Though Blueland launched with a trio of cleaners, it's since expanded into a bevy of categories such as hand soaps and laundry detergents.
