As Good Housekeeping’s senior home editor, I come across tons of home-related products, both good and bad. But there are some special finds that are just too great to keep to myself. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite home items with you — our readers — here on our website every month in the hope that you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.
My August has been all about finding a few simple products to bring a touch of luxury to my everyday routine, while pinpointing a couple of unique decorative pieces to complete my space. I discovered everything from a vintage-inspired macrame planter to a luxe set of shams (for only $49!) that’ll make my bed feel much cozier than it is right now. And the best part is that there’s something for everyone, as the price points range from $5 to $162. Get ready to fill your cart!

Tufted Geo Sham Set
Urban Outfitters

Hand Soap Dispenser
I never thought I’d describe a soap dispenser as “elevated,” but that’s the case with the new sustainable brand Eddi. Rather than a single-use plastic bottle, this dispenser is made from stainless steel and zinc alloy. Not only does it come in four chic colors, like this Cornflower one, you can choose from three base options: matte, polished nickel and brushed brass. What’s more, you can also snag their all-natural hand soaps that are formulated with coconut and olive oils.
