The Home Edit: 13 Brands to Help You Curate Your Space with Style

If the Benjamin Moore section of Home Depot gives you hives, not only are you not alone, but you've got a better option. Pickleson Paint makes odorless, water-based paint in colors that are as chic as they are environmentally friendly. The brand’s paints are low in volative organic compounds, or VOCs, so they're much more sustainable than their competitors, and come in almost 40 different shades for you to choose from. Pickleson’s ready to ship you sample cards or whole cans, and with a quick-drying time of 20 minutes per coat, the brand will save you bundles of time in the process.

A worldwide favorite for bespoke furniture at affordable prices, Castlery is our go-to for indoor and outdoor seating alike. The brand boasts chaises, sectionals, ottomans and more, and many of its styles appear in different sizes and seating configurations to suit any space you have. If you're missing the showroom experience, take a spin around this virtual studio and let your imagination run wild.

We first fell in love with Palermo House's loungers, which look something like the avant-garde beanbag chair you never knew you needed. But even if that's not your speed, there's no denying that every living space could use a great rug. All of PH's rugs are handmade in Northern Argentina from 100% pure wool using techniques passed down through generations by master artisans of the craft. These are luxurious, beautifully made pieces in neutral colors that will warm any room without fighting your existing decor. You'll be calling dibs on floor sitting in no time.

Anyone who's ever been stuck at work under a flourescent bulb knows: lighting matters. Gantri hears you loud and clear, giving artists and creators a platform to design cutting-edge light fixtures you won't find anywhere else. These lamps (honestly it feels wrong to even call them that) push the boundaries of form and geometry, but still feel playful and homey, with a winning sense of humor and style. Manufactured locally and on-demand in California, Gantri's products are an eye-catching antidote to mass production, and make every flip of the light switch a real event.

Finding the right art for your place can be tricky: not only should it stand on its own as a winning piece, it has to complement the rest of your furnishings without screaming for attention. For that reason – and because nothing's more subjective than artistic taste – we're giving you two options for finding that perfect print. Both Idyll Collective and Midnight Station are communities of artists, providing posters, photography, and mixed media works straight from the makers themselves. We love perusing both to see the full breadth of what's out there, with a special shoutout to Idyll for its Help Me Pick quiz that saves even the most indecisive shoppers among us.

Inspired by Japanese "small-space living," Yamazaki's minimalist, efficient organizational systems are a lifesaver for anyone trying to maximize their space. We especially love the wonders they can work for any kitchen with limited counter space, from ingenious inventions like the collapsible bottle dryer to the countertop shelves that create space where there is none. No matter the mess you make while cooking dinner, or the dishes that pile up in the process, Yamazaki is here to help you find your gorgeously clean home base again.

Pattern Brands is an umbrella company, a family of distinct brands that all share the mission of enjoying daily life. With unique, joyful products designed to elevate even the smallest moments at home into fun-loving rituals, these brands are especially helpful for upgrading your kitchen. With brands like GIR making colorful kitchen tools, Equal Parts furnishing non-toxic cookware, and Yield's gorgeous French presses and glassware, Pattern Brands is truly an embarrassment of riches.

Listen, it's a tough market out there. While we all have our own non-negotiables, when it comes time to choose our new residence, sometimes we end up with something… less than our dream closet. Which is what makes the Cove hanger so ingenious: for those of us who only have short closet racks, this 2-in-1 hanger collapses on itself so that even your longest garments can hang neatly. Pair that with one of the brand’s scented ribbons, a modern take on the closet potpourri satchel, and your clothes will be smelling as great as they look in no time.

We here at TQE have something of an obsession with great bedding. We've covered Brooklinen, Sijo, and more – and are still as stoked as ever to be bringing you a new favorite: Bed Threads. Made from 100% French flax linen, in colors like turmeric and sage, these sheets are so dreamily soft we've become certified nap addicts. They're pre-washed to save you the breaking in, and have the kind of breathability that lends them to any weather. We can't think of a better way to christen your new bedroom.
