Stay tuned all week long as we roll out our ‘Best of 2024’ for all the categories we cover on the site. Did your favorite brands make it to the winner circle? Let the drama begin and read on below to find out.

We’re often willing to splurge in the home category, as it’s important to feel comfortable and supported in our habitats. Across moves, cities, and plenty of spaces, the TQE Editors have had the privilege of vetting many of our dream brands in furniture, linens, appliances, kitchenware, and more for our personal sanctuaries. Without further ado, below are 2024’s Best of Home:
Parachute's bedding is Instagrammable, soft to the touch, and gets even comfier with each and every wash. Linen is an ideal thermoregulating fabric, with a coolness in summer and coziness during winter that appeals to all types of sleepers.

Cookware is a go-to gift across wedding registries, new apartment housewarmings, and more for a reason. It’s simply essential, and the right pots and pans can make a world of difference between easy mac and a culinary-grade meal worth savoring. This 4-piece set includes the 8-in-1 Always Pan 2.0 (complete with nesting spatula, steamer basket, and colander), Mini Always Pan, Perfect Pot, and Mini Perfect Pot, for every possible dish.

Flowers are a classic for a reason. With Bouqs, you can opt for one singular stunning bouquet, or an ongoing monthly subscription. One writer from the TQE team gifted the subscription to her mother and appreciated the experience of selecting the best blooms from Bouqs’s vast monthly offerings so much that she subscribed herself!

Flamingo Estate isn’t just a brand, it’s a lifestyle. Their products represent the best of both worlds: sensual luxury with to-die-for aesthetics that’s still rooted in sustainability and regenerative farming practices. From their hilltop garden perched above Los Angeles, they’ve packaged some of their best sellers into one must-have gift box: Mediterranean Rosemary & Clary Sage Hand Soap, Climbing Tuscan Rosemary Candle, and their flagship Heritage Extra Virgin Olive Oil among others. For a $15 surcharge you can have it gift wrapped, but whichever way you go know that this box is a knockout.

This platform bed frame is all over Instagram, and its modular functionality means you can add and subtract pieces as needed should you decide to upgrade your Queen to a King or shift around room furniture. It’s so important that furniture you invest in be able to grow with you, and the Floyd model makes that so possible – while looking fantastic in any type of space.

You’ve tried the serums, the lifestyle adjustments, the “letting your skin breathe,” and nothing works. The secret might actually be in your water quality—and believe it or not, a showerhead might be able to solve your problems. This one from Jolie is a little luxury that significantly elevates a daily ritual. Oh, and it feels fantastic too. Shop it in five striking colorways.

Global favorite Castlery has hit the US market, and we're here to sing its praises. The Madison sectional is a great case study of what the brand does so well: mix classic elements like biscuit tufting with eye-catching, contemporary rubber wood legs. Castlery makes comfortable, everyday furniture with thoughtfully surprising details, with a level of quality that's increasingly rare in its price range. Team Leather will be thrilled to learn there's an option for them too, with the same comforting round bolsters.

You’ve seen the Ninja Creami ice cream maker positively everywhere on the Internet, and it’s more than just a viral gimmick – whip up store-worthy ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and more in less than five minutes. It also boasts an impressive capacity to add mix-ins to satisfy any craving and even use non-dairy bases. (McFlurry, who?) Ninja’s barely been able to keep up with demand, so if you see this in stock, you’ll want to snag it ASAP.

One of the core pinnacles of adulting is owning proper art. While you might not be flush with cash to acquire your first LaChapelle, there are plenty of online entrants helping make your home feel more sophisticated and grown-up for a fraction of the cost. House of Spoils, a Venice based brand, supports emerging photographers and provides exceptional prints for the aesthetically oriented eye. You can tie together the most vanilla room with one of their travel, adventure, or lifestyle photos that surely will make you feel...spoiled.

For those who just returned from an Italian vacation and miss sipping cocktails poolside in regular ol’ reality. For those who devoured any fashion coverage around the “new money aesthetic” and Zillow-stalked Nantucket. For those who simply love relishing any quality outdoors time on a back deck, whether for happy hour or to break up a work-from-home day. This vintage-inspired market umbrella is for you. Its large span, easy setup, and stylish scalloped edges make it an aesthetic option, while its removable, washable cover make it an absolute slam dunk.
