I cover all things shopping, from cleaning and organizing finds to decor and furniture that’s worth every penny. Your home says a lot about you, so I’m always curious about the things people choose to bring into their space — and aim to make it easier to find those things! I’ve written home and lifestyle content for Well+Good and Design Milk.

I’ve learned a lot as a shopping writer over the years, like what to consider while shopping for a sofa, how to find the best deals on decor, and, arguably most important, that there are affordable buys to be found even at the priciest home stores. I know because I’ve found the best affordable buys at West Elm and Design Within Reach, and now I’ve turned my focus to Blu Dot

The Minneapolis-based home brand designs all of its modern furniture and decor in-house using high-quality, sustainably sourced materials, so its offerings are (understandably) a bit of a splurge. However, Blu Dot has more affordable finds than you’d think! I searched every inch of the brand’s site to find them for you. 

Tabs Tray
$65$46

Streamline your shelf or coffee table with this unique, 12x12 tray. The boxy silhouette has high sides to keep clutter from spilling out onto household surfaces, and the ochre colorway adds instant warmth and richness to a room.

Square One Organizer Tray
$50

This solid wood organizer is like an elevated take on an old-school lunch tray. It has three compartments (two small and one large) that’ll hold everything from pens and desk accessories to jewelry or your phone and keys at your entryway. Plus, it’s stackable with Blu Dot’s other Square One pieces!

Union 20" Square Pillow
$125

The contrast piping on this velvet throw pillow is everything. It’s velvet on both sides, for double the richness, and brings stylish color and texture to a sofa or accent chair. Meanwhile, the feather-fiber filling promises soft, huggable comfort.

Estate Tray
$95

Every host needs a standout serving tray. This one dons solid beech wood handles and a smooth, powder-coated aluminum surface for the ultimate textural contrast. Make it the star of your sideboard or bar cart, or give it permanent residence on your coffee table.

Binwell Wastebasket
$175

Leave it to Blu Dot to design a trash can so chic that it’s basically decor. The Binwell wastebasket has a sleek aluminum exterior that’s powder-coated in statement-making color, and a swing-top lid that keeps your discarded items totally out of sight. Its compact size makes it a great fit for tight spaces, too, although you’ll want to keep it in full view.

Pluck Small Caddy
$75$53

The Pluck caddy is exactly the kind of stylish, space-saving storage that I’m always on the lookout for as an apartment dweller. The name is cute, and its curved shape and tiny wood handle are even cuter. I could see this living anywhere.

Who Goes There? Candleholder Shape 3
$35$25

Feel like you’re starring in your own period piece with this modern spin on an antique candleholder. With its soft curves and ergonomic handle, it’s part sculpture and part functional accessory — just imagine swapping your flashlight for one of these. You will need to buy your own candlestick, though. Fortunately, Blu Dot has plenty.

Decade Chair
$195

It’s easy to see why the Decade chair is a Blu Dot bestseller. The stackable, sloped silhouette looks like a comfortable, stylish seat you’ll keep for, well, decades. It comes in a bunch of fun colors, and it’s outdoor-friendly. It's a chair you’ll use anywhere (from your desk and dining table to your patio).

$195 at Blu Dot
Chaperone Wool Throw
$315$158

“Chaperone” couldn’t be a more perfect name for this throw blanket; you won’t want to be on the couch without it. It’s made of 100% wool, so expect top-tier toastiness and a plush texture that’s perfect for cozying up. And with its multicolored check design, it adds a little something extra to a sofa or accent chair, too.

$158 at Blu Dot
Vice Versa Small Tray
$65

This glossy ceramic tray adds an earthy touch to a dresser or console table with its soft octagonal shape and ridged surface. Make it a stylish home base for your phone, wallet, and keys, or use it to artfully display small trinkets and jewelry.
