Interior designers know that Amazon Prime Day, which runs now through June 26, is an unbeatable opportunity to stock up on all kinds of home essentials, from bedding and small appliances to organizational tools and beyond. Right now, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of items on sale, and the discounts are up to 50% off. Ahead, five pro designers share their top 10 sale picks that are already in their shopping carts. 

Mikasa Cheers Stemless Wine Glass, Set of 4
$30$2033% off

Use Amazon Prime Day as an excuse to upgrade your glassware so that you can host in style for the rest of the summer (and beyond!). Adnan Anwar, the founder of Adnan Anwar Design, likes this set of four glasses because they’d look great on a bar cart or table, but for a pretty genius function, too. “I love how each one has a different pattern, so you don’t mix up your drink with others,” he says.

Kitstorack Under Sink Organizer
$49$3920% off

Streamline the area under your bathroom sink once and for all with the help of this pull-out system. “Let’s be honest: Under-sink cabinets with double doors are basically the Bermuda Triangle of storage — you toss in a bottle of lotion, and it vanishes forever,” says Molly Machmer-Wessels, who recommends purchasing these to keep everything corralled nicely.” The founder of Woodland Design Co. adds, “These drawers turn that black hole into actual usable space, hallelujah for slide-outs!”

LANDNEOO Stackable Water Bottle Organizer
$20$1620% off

No matter what kind of fridge you have, saving space is always top of mind. Charli Hendler, the founder of August Black Interiors, relies on this water bottle organizer for her own fridge and says that it’s both practical and easy to clean. “It allows me lots of extra room in the fridge and helps keep things more organized every day,” she says. “They’re great to use in a pantry or workout room as well!”

DreamSky Wooden Digital Alarm Clock
$20$1430% off

Our phones essentially serve as modern-day watches, but it can still be nice to have a real clock or two on display, particularly if you’re looking to do a bit of a digital detox before going to bed each evening. Susie Novak, the founder of Susie Novak Interiors, has her eye on this simple, sleek solution. “I really love the white one for its subtlety,” she says. “It’s a beautiful little piece that serves a purpose.”

LuxClub Sheet Set, Queen
$28$2221% off

Sleep as comfortably as possible this summer by opting for cooling sheets. Hendler is eyeing this set for her guest room and plans to stock up on a handful of colorways. “I can't wait to try out a few different tones to switch things up for different guests,” she says.

California Design Den Natural 100% Cotton Sheets, Queen
$56$53

Another sheet option to explore is this set, which Anwar calls his “favorite value cotton sheets.” And he isn’t kidding — this deal is too great to pass up. “I’ve bought them for many clients over the years and have them in my own rotation,” he says.

$53 at Amazon
ZONGOOL Rug Tape
$16$850% off

Keep unruly rugs in line with the assistance of some rug tape, which Machmer-Wessels relies on often. “I cannot with curled rug corners,” she says. “It looks messy, and it's a tripping hazard.” She’s eager to put this tape, with 24,000-plus reviews, to the test.

$8 at Amazon
FEELEAD 7-Foot Faux Olive Tree
$140$8142% off

No green thumb? No problem — as long as your faux plants look convincing, you’re golden. “As much as I LOVE real plants, sometimes going with faux is the only option,” says Novak. She finds this olive tree to be a beautiful, realistic-looking pick for anyone looking to liven up a corner of their home.

$81 at Amazon
EUHOMY Nugget Ice Maker
$190$14424% off

After hot summer days spent outdoors, you’ll want to cool down with an icy-cold beverage. Why not invest in a nugget ice machine to really elevate your drinks this season? “If you know the hype around nugget ice, you get it,” says Paige Dick, the founder of Paige Designs. “It's not just a trend; it's a game-changer for entertaining and everyday living.” After installing nugget ice machines in plenty of clients’ homes, the designer decided to order her own. “The ice is just better ... soft, crunchy, and somehow makes everything from iced coffee to cocktails feel like a treat,” she says.

$144 at Amazon
MIULEE Pillow Inserts, Set of 2
$40$3025% off

Anwar knows that it isn’t necessary to spend an exorbitant amount on throw pillow inserts when there are plenty of affordable, trusty options on the market. These are one of his favorite buys — he purchases them time and time again! “Always buy an insert 2 inches larger than your cover,” the designer instructs.
