10 Labor Day Deals Designers Are Adding to Their Carts

The best deals are often underfoot and Kelly Bartley calls this sisal rug a “go-to.” “It's affordable, durable, stain-resistant and looks way more high-end than the price,” the Los Angeles designer explains. Bartley has the ivory color in her office—and a beige one in her daughter’s room—and is looking to expand her collection over the weekend.

“Now I want one for under my dining table and I'm gonna pull the trigger this weekend while it's on sale,” she says. “It's a classic!”

Fall might be synonymous with cozy candles, but here’s your sign to think beyond the wick and wax. Christine Tuttle, a designer in Massachusetts, is a big fan of these produce candle holders from Terrain. Not only is the metal and resin construction built to last, but they’ll be a lovely addition to your table setup.

“I picked up a carrot, which I feel can be used now—hello, autumnal root vegetables!—but also in the spring at Easter. The red bell pepper one is on sale...perhaps for Taco Tuesdays?!”

“Refreshing tableware is such an easy way to usher in a new season,” says Barrett Oswald, an interior designer in New York. These chocolate-coated bowls, replete with a fluted rim, will elevate cereal or a hearty stew.

If you want to get your home fall-ready, these velvet throw pillow covers will bring the great outdoors inside. “It’s a beautiful, solid color for autumn that pairs effortlessly with a variety of patterned pillows,” says Julia Newman, an interior designer based in Los Angeles.

Calling all small space dwellers: If you want to zhuzh up your home without eating into precious square footage, Mina Lisanin is a fan of this cute wall vase. “I love that this one almost doubles as a piece of sculptural wall art,” the New York City designer explains. “The checker pattern adds just enough interest, and you can completely change the look depending on the flowers or greenery you put in it.”

Consider this your sign to restock your art books. Courtney B. Smith, a designer in California, is eying this tome that offers an elegant look at alpine living.

While this set of four from Anthropologie comes in a bunch of colors, Oswald says the honey-tinged option will pair well with reds, whites, and rosés. “They can also be great hostess gifts for the holidays,” she adds.

Wine and cheese nights will be considerably more stylish, thanks to this charcuterie board from Anthropologie. “The warm tones and natural variation in the marble give it so much character, and the small floral details make it feel more special than a typical serving board,” says Lauren Saab, who runs her design firm in Northwest Arkansas. In fact, this cheese board is so cute that Saab gives you the go-ahead to leave it out when idle.
