As AT’s Senior Style Editor, I cover the latest interior design trends, expert decorating ideas, and must-see home products. Whenever I’m not keeping tabs on the next TikTok “core” or buzzy IKEA collection, I’m most likely reading, online shopping, or looking for the best tacos in New York (recs are encouraged).

As a shopping editor, I always have an ear to the ground for the coolest, smartest, most need-to-know our editors’ radars straight to your very own space.

Not sure where to shop, or just need some quick inspo? Start here with a weekly rundown of AT editors’ favorite finds, from things we’ve tested to exciting brand launches to home project Kickstarters. Read on to see what’s got our team buzzing currently.

"Speakeasy" Luxury Candle
$48

"I’m obsessed with Harlem Candle Company. Normally, I go for candles that cost less than $20, but I will happily drop $48 on these candles any day. I’ve never smelled a candle so strong or so potent — I don’t know how they’re not constantly sold out." —Savannah West, Home Assistant Editor

$48 at Harlem Candle Co.
"1975" Wallcovering
$140

"Backdrop just came out with wall coverings. They have some interesting patterns and I like this one specifically because it’s a little funky, but their colorways are subdued enough that it feels good for pattern-shy people. I’m tempted to put some up in my house." —Megan Baker, Home Projects Director

$140 at Backdrop
Mulberry Celestial Silk Pillowcase
$59$47

"I got two of these silk pillowcases last week and I'm already noticing a difference in how smooth my hair is when I wake up! Silk is also supposed to help with allergies and keeping skin clear, and while it may be wishful thinking at this point, I think it has. And on top of these benefits, the star print is really fun, which is an added bonus." —Kelly Dawson, Deputy Editor

$47 at Brooklinen
Sterling Check Enamel Tea Kettle - 3 Quart
$178

"For the first time since 2019, MacKenzie-Childs is unveiling a new addition to their checkered family of products, Sterling Check, which features muted silver checks, accented with subtle pull-throughs of yellow and blue hues. Personally, I've got my eye on the tea kettle, but you can choose from 25 products total across the categories of dinnerware, entertaining items, glassware, and decor." —Danielle Blundell, Executive Home Director

$178 at MacKenzie-Childs
Hand & Body Wash Essentials Bundle
$46$39

"P.F. Candle Co. recently launched refillable hand and body wash bundles. The Swell scent is giving me all the spring and summer vibes." —Tara Bellucci, News and Culture Director

$39 at P.F. Candle Co.
Beagle Minimalist Plastic Sculpture
$30

"I got an Instagram ad for this adorable beagle ornament (the algorithm has me in its clutches) and I immediately bought it for my mum for Mother’s Day. I think doggie-themed decor can be a little tacky sometimes, but I love these cute silhouettes!" —Maddie Bilis, Deputy Lifestyle Director

$30 at Etsy
Blue Contact Paper
$7$5

"I really want to paint a stripe or arch on my wall, but I can't paint in my apartment, so I bought one roll of this solid removable wallpaper for $7 — in 2022's most trendy color, periwinkle — which I plan to put up in my room and create the same effect." —Sarah Everett, Staff Writer

$5 at Amazon
